[Samba] Two nmbd processes on 2.2.6

Hello,
I have downloaded and compiled 2.2.6 to replace my 2.2.6pre.
I spent a large part of the day debugging the startup script because it
seemed to always be starting two nmbd processes instead of one.
Eventually I tried running just /usr/local/samba/bin/nmbd - and still got
two nmbd processes. Is this correct behaviour?
On the first server (Dell 4600) I thought it might be because it has one of
the new hyperthreading BIOS which makes Linux believe it has dual
processors. The machine also had two NICs - one for each card?
However, I tried in on my old PII 233 single processor and single NIC and
sure enough two nmbds get started.
Have I missed something? Are there supposed to be two running these days?
I simply compiled with the usual parameters (./configure --with-smbmount
--with-utmp --with-msdfs --with-automount) and have made sure only one nmbd
exists on the system.
Any ideas anyone?
Cheers
Noel
