ps shows same process more than once

["George M. Florendo" <georgeflorendo at gmail dot com>]

Hi,

I run a non cygwin apache process named httpd.exe.  Checking it with
"ps -W" shows a listing of the same process (with PID 4560 in this
case) twice.

$ ps -W | grep httpd
     4560    1604    4560       5304  pty0    1000 09:55:21
/home/georgeflorendo/wamp/bin/apache/Apache2.4.4/bin/httpd
     4560    1604    4560       5304  pty0    1000 09:55:21
/home/georgeflorendo/wamp/bin/apache/Apache2.4.4/bin/httpd
     7508       0       0       7508  ?          0 15:09:50
C:\cygwin\home\georgeflorendo\wamp\bin\apache\Apache2.4.4\bin\httpd.exe

Doing a "ps aux" shows it only once.

$ ps aux
      PID    PPID    PGID     WINPID   TTY     UID    STIME COMMAND
     1340    7856    1340       5720  pty5    1000 15:13:50 /usr/bin/ps
     1604    4008    1604       2292  pty0    1000 09:17:01 /usr/bin/bash
     4008       1    4008       4008  ?       1000 09:17:00 /usr/bin/mintty
     4560    1604    4560       5304  pty0    1000 09:55:21
/home/georgeflorendo/wamp/bin/apache/Apache2.4.4/bin/httpd

<snipped>

Is it correct that ps -W shows the same process twice?

Thanks!

George
