spamd --max-spare ignored

[Matthew.van.Eerde]

I'm running spamd with --max-spare, but as soon as I start it, it spawns 
--max-children children and keeps it there.

I'm running 3.10 with these options:

    /usr/bin/spamd \
      --daemonize \
      --username=spamd \
      --round-robin \
      --max-children=20 \
      --max-spare=5 \
      --socketpath=/var/run/spam/spamd.sock \
      --pidfile=/var/run/spam/spamd.pid

Are any of my settings incorrect?  Or could this be a bug?
