proxwww and children

[DRVTiny]

As i see in my syslog, proxwww forks too many childs and i dont know why (i didnt even logged to web console!)

Oct 20 11:34:25 ve proxwww[4798]: Starting new child 4798
Oct 20 11:34:25 ve proxwww[4799]: Starting new child 4799
Oct 20 13:03:17 ve proxwww[9736]: Starting new child 9736
Oct 20 13:03:17 ve proxwww[9737]: Starting new child 9737
Oct 20 13:03:24 ve proxwww[9950]: Starting new child 9950
Oct 20 13:03:24 ve proxwww[9951]: Starting new child 9951

I observe this strange behaviour at night too, though its time when all VMs in idle state and of course web-console is not used by anywhere.
Can you help me understand, whats happening?

this is quite normal (I assume it closes other child processes, so the number of child stay constant)

But... for what reason it creates/destroy them so frequently? I'm afraid that this may lead to memory lack and many more unpredictable problems.

That are just 6 starts in 2 hours - this is extremely seldom (as opposed to frequent).
