3-pipe iR

I need to run my application as APP_CULLDRAW. However, the following code
shows that pfConfig forks a CULLDRAW process if pfMultipipe is called with the
argument 1, but forks both CULL and DRAW for each pipe whenever pfMultipipe is
called with an argument other than 1. I can't find any indication of why this
should be so -- I'm not forking an LPOINT process, and I'm setting
pfMultiprocess explicitly. This code is taken from common/main.c with a few
calls added near the top, and compiled and linked as perfly. Any ideas?

main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    pfInit();
    pfNotifyLevel(PFNFY_INFO);
    pfMultiprocess(PFMP_FORK_CULL);
    pfMultipipe(2);
    pfConfig();
}
