In my system, running julia from the console to launch the REPL launches 3 
processes named Julia.
If I execute a julia script containing no parallel code, like

julia myscript.jl

I also get 3 processes, and all three seem to do work.

I have NOT aliased julia to julia -p 3.

I am using Ubuntu 15.10, although this also happens on a system with 14.04, 
and on a remote cluster, and with different scripts. All are x64, Julia 
v0.4.5. In all cases, too many processes are launched.

Any ideas on what could be happening?
