On linux, right?

Welcome to the wonderful world of Linux "threading" Linux does not have threading 
itself, instead, it has threading "emulation". This means that a parent and children 
threads display as single processes instead of thread -> child (as on solaris). 

What you are seeing is normal, it's Java starting the parent and forking the children. 
This is not a DoS attack.
