That is expected in some cases. Specifically on a multi core system, the 
server will run several processes listening on localhost at ports 8009, 
8010, 8011 etc. It will then run a load balancer on the "normal" port 8008 
which will redirect to the local ones as appropriate.

Can you include the stdout/stderr result? There ought to be something in 
there when the server starts up that shows what processes are being started 
and on what ports etc.
