I've noticed siproxd seems to get started multiple times:

clog /var/log/system.log | grep siproxd

ps ax | grep siproxd

and so does pfflowd:

clog /var/log/system.log | grep pfflowd

Sep  1 08:26:18 pfsense pfflowd[38723]: pfflowd listening on pfsync0

Sep  1 08:26:18 pfsense pfflowd[38914]: pfflowd listening on pfsync0

ps ax | grep pfflowd

38914  ??  Ss    0:00.59 /usr/local/sbin/pfflowd -n sme.example.org:5678 -S any -v 5
27488  0  R+    0:00.01 grep pfflowd

In the case of siproxd it seems benign (apart from delaying the startup a little), but in the case of pfflowd it seems to result in duplicate flow records at the collector.

This seems to have been happening for a while, at least since the Jun 20 snapshot build which I have just replaced.

On reboot after the gitsync, pfflowd appears to get started multiple times but only one copy is left running:

siproxd is still started multiple times with one copy left running:
