[erlang-questions] Too many processes

[marmll]

Hi, 

i have the following problem:

My error_logger tells me that I’am having “Too many processes” and the
erlang engine crashed. 
When I’am starting the gen_server I’am checking the
erlang:system_info(process_count) and they tells me 80 processes.

Codesnip from init:
    F = fun(Sock) -> parse_packet(Sock, Client) end,
    tcp_server:stop(Port),
    {ok, _} = tcp_server:start_raw_server(Port, F, 10240,2048),

And here my parse_packet:

parse_packet(Socket, Client) ->
    receive
                {tcp, Socket, Bin} ->
                    io:format("--> ~w~n", [Bin]);
                {tcp_closed, Socket} ->
                    error_logger:error_report([{module, ?MODULE},{line,
?LINE},{message, "tcpclosed"},{call, "tcp_closed aus
receive"},{now,now()}]);
                {packet, Packet} ->
                    io:format("<-- ~w~n", [Packet]),
                    parse_packet(Socket, Client)
end.

With every connect to the server my process_count is increasing 1 ! 

How can I handle the process_count ? I think the the tail recursion at
parse_packet is not good. 

Please help me 
Thanks
