This sounds like what you get when you use the -T <timeout> options on the
services...  Or when you use -U <max uses>.

There were also bugs that caused things do die without using -U or -T due to
a sigalarm gone rogue, which was also fixed I think.

Anyway, just set -T and -U to sensible values for every service in
cyrus.conf, and you will get the variable number of processes back.
