Is there a way to limit the number of children that mysqld spawns?  Every once in a
while, I'll see child processes (up to 10, in one case) when I know that the mysql
server is not being used.

Are the child processes supposed to die off after a while, or is there a way to limit
the number of processes that are spawned?

Thanks,

Chris
