There's no bug. It's supposed have that many "instances". Actually,
there's only one c-k-d instance with 61 threads. In addition, it and
it's 61 threads only takes up 2.1MB of resident memory using virtually
no cpu time. In comparison, a singe bash shell uses 3.1MB of resident
memory. c-k-d is certainly not a resource hog by any stretch.
