sshd running with "-R" ?

I have several versions of openSSH running on Sun Solaris systems of
various architecture and Solaris versions. On a 3.9p1 install, I see
sshd running with the -R option:

 root 662 1 0 23:27:44 ? 0:00 /usr/local/sbin/sshd -R

( and every new connection made spawns a new "sshd -R".)

All of my other openSSH installs have sshd processes such as:

 root 26402 242 0 23:31:44 ? 0:00 /usr/local/sbin/sshd

(without -R). What is -R? It's not getting that from my RC scripts,
and there's nothing about -R in the manpage for sshd. The sshd_config
files are identical on all systems.

Any info would be useful.

Thanks!
