Multiple instances of adb

Hi,

Does anyone else find that each time you test on Android it starts a new instance of adb? Looking in Activity monitor I had about 20 instances running, each one logging messages. When I killed a couple they all got cleaned up though.

EDIT: I did overwrite the platform tools directory with a newer one in order to get it to connect to my Jellybean Nexus 7, so I don't know if that had any effect?

I've noticed that too, but I don't know what to do about it.

I noticed it, but when I try to force kill it from the app (this was a while back), it has bad consequences for the toolset's being able to launch new sessions, so I don't. It's a little annoying, but besides eating up a little RAM, there's no real side-effect.
