Will svnserve in daemon mode spawn child processes?

Hi all. I don't know if this is wrong or not, but this is the first
I've seen of it.

I'm using SVN 1.4.3 on a Solaris 9 machine (have been using SVN on
this box for some time now), and I use svnserve to handle requests for
our local development team. We've always started the svnserve process
manually in daemon mode.

I checked to see if it was running this morning, and I found that
there were two processes (where normally there was always one). So, I
looked at all the ctsvn's processes (where ctsvn is the account which
owns the repositories)

   ctsvn 13863 19688 0 09:03:57 ? 0:00 svnserve -d -r
/ct/ctsvn/repositories
   ctsvn 19688 1 0 Jan 30 ? 0:09 svnserve -d -r
/ct/ctsvn/repositories

From what I can tell, process 19688 was what was originally started.
And process 13863 was spawned from the original process.

Is this OK? Should I kill these off and start again? Or is it normal
for svnserve to spawn off child processes.

Thanks for any info,
Ed
