I normally run with just 1 child, as mail load on my server is pretty low.

[root at ram1 .spamassassin]# fuser *
bayes_seen.db:       31156 31165
bayes_toks.db:       31156 31165
[root at ram1 .spamassassin]# ps -fp 31165
UID        PID  PPID  C STIME TTY          TIME CMD
root     31165 31156 78 19:28 ?        00:00:22 /usr/bin/perl
-I/usr/lib/MailScanner /usr/sbin/MailScanner
/etc/MailScanner/MailScanner.conf

After timing out, and message delivered (mailsystem idle):

[root at ram1 .spamassassin]# fuser *
bayes_seen.db:       31156
bayes_toks.db:       31156

And when another message comes in and SA is invoked:

[root at ram1 .spamassassin]# fuser *
bayes_seen.db:       31156 31288
bayes_toks.db:       31156 31288
[root at ram1 .spamassassin]# ps -fp 31288
UID        PID  PPID  C STIME TTY          TIME CMD
root     31288 31156 86 19:32 ?        00:00:18 /usr/bin/perl
-I/usr/lib/MailScanner /usr/sbin/MailScanner
/etc/MailScanner/MailScanner.conf
