Do I have something wrong with this query?  I thought that each oracle OS process 
corresponded to one database connection (unless you are using MTS, which we aren't).  
This query surprised me.  It shows that two different oracle database processes each 
correspond to 3 database connections.  Can someone explain this?

Thanks,
Jay
