Heh, although it may very well be that a call to pam_end() is needed, the  
very next thing that happens is an exit().

If some resource is leaking, even though the process has terminated, that's  
a bug or a design flaw in the way that the PAM library goes about doing its  
business. Any process can get SIGKILLed at any time; one cannot depend on a  
tapdance routine always finishing its script.
