--- Comment #6 from Jim Knoble <jmknoble at pobox.com> ---
If an sshd process dies while reading the output from
Authorized{Keys,Pricipals}Command, wouldn't it also die with SIGPIPE?
Wouldn't it be more resilient to require the command to handle SIGPIPE
appropriately ... or even to set up an appropriate handler before
spawning the command?

Continuing to consume unneeded output seems like the wrong thing to do
here.
