Here is a snip of a 'ps' on my Linux machine when I started the server
eg2_impl _once_.

USER       PID %CPU %MEM  SIZE   RSS TTY STAT START   TIME COMMAND
storm    23763  0.0  0.6  1584   792  p2 S    09:03   0:00 eg2_impl

Five processes are started here as well.

You should look into the documentation for LinuxThreads to get an
explanation for this behaviour:

[from the file FAQ.html of linuxthreads-0.71]
LinuxThreads follows the so-called "one-to-one" model: each thread is
actually a separate process in the kernel.  The kernel scheduler takes
care of scheduling the threads, just like it schedules regular
processes.  The threads are created with the Linux clone() system call,
which is a generalization of
fork() allowing the new process to share the memoryspace, file
descriptors, and signal handlers of the parent.
