My fault, I miss read the SA doc:
"spamd" now has a default max-children setting of 5; no more than 5
child scanner processes will be run in parallel. Previously, there
was no default limit unless you specified the "-m" switch when
starting spamd.
I read that as no more than 5 can *ever* be started :-)
