I strongly disagree with your statement that "the originating

If I've mis-used the terminology, I'm sorry.
But, there was/is a case with ESA 5.2, where there is only the
forked/spawned/whatever USS piece is the only part left, and the
originating/calling address space is no longer with us.
It's a USS process, with no apparent parrent, and caused us grief when we
were trying to 'get it right' with our WLM policy.
If it's 'fixed', all the better.

Are you referring to orhpans? Or maybe your are confusing with zombies?
I recall a lot more problems with zombies in the early Unix System Services
days.
