The user only had five email addresses to add, no where near the 75
processes I've had running.
Should tcprules be running once per instance?
Is a mysqld process spawned for each user authentication?
That sounds a bit extreme if not absurd. I could understand if a client
was being invoked, but not a daemon process for each request.
I'm somehow back down to just one tcprules process with what appears to be
a single associated mysqld process (they're a single pid apart)
