Why did this happen?

I have nothing new to add aside from saying the same happened to me after last weeks update.

What builds are you running?

If you give the pfSense shell command # ps ax are there lots of duplicate process names?

[jimp]

Did you upgrade your firmware between there?

The old method of counting processes was undercounting. We changed recently to a more precise count, that includes not just user space processes but also kernel/system threads.
