Hi,
I published the similar message on mongrel forum yesterday but nobody
has answered yet 
So I decided to ask a question here.
When I start mongrel cluster on Gentoo (XEN virtual server) in
production with 8 mongrels I always have 24 processes
Before it started on FedoraCore-5,6, CentOS-4.x and SUSE-8 with no
problems (N mongrel gave N processes).
Then I tried to start one mongrel and got 3 processes. The same I did
in the development mode with the same result as well.

I use Rails-1.1.6, Ruby-1.8.5, Mongrel-1.0.1 for the app.
Then I created a new 'empty' app, started mongrel and gave the same result: 24234 ? S 0:01 /usr/bin/ruby18 /usr/bin/mongrel_rails start 24246 ? S 0:00 \_ /usr/bin/ruby18 /usr/bin/mongrel_rails start 24248 ? S 0:00 \_ /usr/bin/ruby18 /usr/bin/ mongrel_rails start
Then I installed Rails 1.2.3 and started app using it but I got the same result.
I have no ideas what's happened and how to fix it. Please, could you help me to resolve the issue and advise what to do for it.
Thanks.
Vladimir Kurnavenkov.
