You should only ever get one.  There was an issue with terminal services 
at one point where the client didn't have the rights to remove the icon 
even though it had rights to add it (bizarrely).

It happens only when something is slowing down the network loopback test 
  in local mode (ie. takes >200ms to respond to a port open)... cvslock 
gets reexecuted in the assumption it isn't running.  It aborts because 
it actually is running.

If you repeatedly type 'cvslock -systray' on a command prompt you'll get 
something similar.  On a normal system you'll only ever see one fish 
(the first one that runs) and all the others will abort immediately. 
In the instance of the locked down terminal server I mentioned the 
program was able to register itself and unable to unregister so the 
icons built up.

It's not really an issue because running single user like that isn't 
normally going to happen except for testing.
