Processes running without cleaning

Hi Team,

I am using Solaris9 and pgsql 8.2.5. Started the DB with the option 50
nodes and 100 blocks as below.

pg_ctl start -D /db1/postgresql/data -o "-N 50 -B 100 -i"

When started, there are 3 processes running with postgres names. After
that when a single transaction comes to the DB, it is going on
increasing it's number of processes by multiples of 3 or 4 up to the
peak connection say 53. Then when we open new session, it gives an error
that "psql : FATAL : Sorry, too many clients already".

Can you please any one explain, how the processes will go when we give
the options for blocks and nodes. As a common, we find 3 processes
running as parent processes of pgsql. Pls find the list of processes in
the attachment.(max_connction = 100 is configured in the postgresql
configuration file. Why cleaning up of process is not happening?

Pls advice.

Regards,

G. V. Suresh Gupta
