Hi all,
I'm working on an app that at one point launches another app with
root privileges.
On some 10.3.9 systems, that second app crashes with the following log:
Thread 0 Crashed:

Searching the archives of this list as well as the web, I was unable
to find a reason for this to happen.
This app is launched using AuthorizationCreate and
AuthorizationExecuteWithPrivileges:
AuthorizationCreate(NULL, kAuthorizationEmptyEnvironment,
kAuthorizationFlagDefaults, &auth);
AuthorizationExecuteWithPrivileges(auth, kLaunchedAppPath,
kAuthorizationFlagDefaults, NULL, NULL);
Did anyone experience this problem before? What might I be doing wrong?
Thanks a bunch
