The only situation where milter-greylist forks is when you use the
urlcheck feature with the fork option (look for "fork" in
greylist.conf). 

If this is not your situation, then my second guess is that you are
running on an OS that shows all threads as processes. If this is the
case, then you have one thread per SMTP connexion. If your server is
busy, it can climb quite high.

Third idea: you have a script that restart it even if it did not die.
