Hi,

the words "instances" means threads. I guess you found that word on the batman 
freifunk gui ?! It is a bit misleading.
Batman is a threaded application. Several tasks are done by different threads. 
OpenWRT (Whiterussian) has no good thread implementation - so called 
LinuxThreads. They emulate thread behaviour via processes. Thats why you see 
so many. 
However, this library is deprecated and a newer (NPTL) is in widely use today 
but requires Linux Kernel 2.6. This is a real thread implementation where you 
have only one process. I guess that you use this lib on your i386 ?!

Regards,
Marek
