StatSVN

On various occasions my system has been flooded with 15-20 or more svn.exe processes. They continue to use up memory and CPU, and after I kill the processes they reopen, forcing me to reboot each time this happens.

Could this be due to stopping StatSVN during the generation of the report? I'm not sure if StatSVN uses a seperate process for each thread (seperate difficulties prevent me from debugging any further currently), but if that is the case, would ending StatSVN leave the SVN processes active and unable to be terminated?

If it makes a difference, I'm using a Windows Service to call StatSVN, so when I refer to stopping StatSVN, I actually mean stopping the service. I will add the required measures to prevent this when the service is stopped, but I wanted to know if that was the cause of the problem and let you know since I haven't been able to find anything about it on the forums.
