No, that's two processes, not two threads.  You'll always see two
processes: one is the gatekeeper that restarts the main Zope process when
you do a 'restart' or when the main process fails with a fatal error.  The
other, larger process is the Zope main process, whose internal threads will
not be visible from a 'ps'.
