No tcpserver entry in the rc script! And here's the ps output:

701 and 796 are the son processes and 698 is the supervised process.
After a restart I noticed that things were as they should be (there were
only 698 and 701) as long as no new messages came in, but as soon as
this happened process 796 came up....I monitored further and noticed
that these additional tcpserver processes come and go. Maybe this is
normal behavior and nobody noticed because when the system is idle,
there's just the two initial processes??
