SVNServe child processes

Hello all.

I just had a quick question about svnserve. My company hosts two different
repositories one that is for internal development and the other is used for
joint development projects with our partners. Our internal stuff is hosted
using the standard svnserve port of 3690. We setup our joint development
repositories so that they bind to a specific URL (which I have listed here
using the fake URL as svn.bogusaddress.com) and port 80 (we don’t have
anything bound to that URL/Port combination). As you can see from the ps
dump below we have a bunch of svnserve child processes hanging around. Is
that normal? Shouldn’t those processes terminate when a user disconnects
from the server? The process snapshot below was taken when I verified that
no one was accessing the SVN server.
