You didn't state what Linux.

Those aren't processes. They are threads and they wont
cause you any problem re process limit.

If you don't like the way they look, you should be able
to do this:

$ export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=""
$ lsnrctl start

...you should get NPTL this way and so ps will look cleaner.

PS. I've not found any human with a pulse and a room tempurature
I.Q. that can explain to me why the Linux guys thought it would
be so brilliant to expose Pthreads in ps(1) output. If anything
it should be detail that one would have to go way out of their way
for because it is minutia.
