                   ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I do. Let me quote the manual on the relevant part:

When using LinuxThreads you will see a minimum of three processes
running. These are in fact threads. There will be one thread for the
LinuxThreads manager, one thread to handle connections, and 
one thread to handle alarms and signals.
