For the official word... look under "About Linux Threads"...

I think what you're seeing is the threads;  IIRC, each java thread gets mapped to a process in linux, which is why you're seeing so many processes.  If you do a `pstree`, you should be able to see that all the java processes are hanging off one main one...  That's just the way it works...

This should've been on gentoo-server, sorry for the multipost for those
on gentoo-users:

I'm running www-servers/tomcat-5.0.28-r4 net-www/apache-2.0.54-r13 and
dev-java/sun-jdk-1.4.2.08-r1.  Though tomcat works fine, for some reason
I have 56 java processes running each time I restart tomcat?  Anyone
know how this could be?

Here's a ps -ef | grep java:
