As a simple test example, consider:

/bin/ssh-agent /bin/sleep 10

While the sleep is still running, ps shows:

        PID    PPID    PGID     WINPID   TTY         UID    STIME COMMAND
       1694    1693    1694       1576  ?          22534 00:01:10 
/usr/bin/ssh-agent

       1693    1653    1693       1552  cons1      22534 00:01:10 /usr/bin/sleep

One oddity is that ssh-agent is listed as a subprocess of sleep
...but this isn't a bug.  ssh-agent forks, and then the parent execs the 
command.

With the salient difference presumably being that the exec is done in the parent instead of the child as usual?
