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
