[Serusers] RE: SER in debug mode

Hello all, I am trying to debug a new module that I have written. So I have set fork=no and debug=4 and commented out the child line. The question I have is that the how may times the child_init() function be called ? The child_init() function in my module sets up a socket connection to a server and I can see that the child_init() function is getting called 3 times. I do not understand this. Am I missing something ? The mod_init function is getting called only once, like it is supposed to. I have attached the output from ser startup. The module that I have written is called gl.
