multiple instances of app each consuming 32 MB . . . (???)

My application starts successfully but if look with ps ax I can see that
I have 5 instances of it open:

frank at limedes:~ > ps ax |grep wine
17937 pts/2    S      0:02 wine C:\Program Files\C4DNET_R73 PC\C4D_NET_Client.exe
17939 ?        S      0:05 wineserver
17940 pts/2    S      0:05 wine C:\Program Files\C4DNET_R73 PC\C4D_NET_Client.exe
17941 pts/2    S      0:00 wine C:\Program Files\C4DNET_R73 PC\C4D_NET_Client.exe
17972 pts/2    S      0:00 wine C:\Program Files\C4DNET_R73 PC\C4D_NET_Client.exe
17973 pts/2    S      0:00 wine C:\Program Files\C4DNET_R73 PC\C4D_NET_Client.exe
17995 pts/0    R      0:00 grep wine

If I then check with top, I can moreover see that each one of those
consumes exactly 32 MB of RAM.

What does that mean? Shouldn't the application be just started once?

I am using the current snapshot from September 4.

Regards, Frank
