Update: (Summarizes a couple of emails exchanged with Massimo) Yesterday I found that my instance of web2py appeared be "leaking" processes at about 1 per hour. Massimo suggested running with -N to disable cron. I started two instances this way -- one under winpdb and another directly. They've been running almost 24 hours now and neither has added any processes. As noted earlier, my app has nothing in crontab. The admin and examples apps have the crontabs that are "as shipped" in v1.85.
