Re: lots of luatex process/instances (ps xa| grep lua / top -----sort by memory)

I've also noticed something along those lines.  I've also found that 
CTRL+Z/C doesn't really exit the program --- there are stale processes 
still lying around.

What I described is general, it tends to happen across big documents.

Is this a known problem?
