I have noticed something similar in 2.0.0 (also several times when it
1.3.xx). I tend to run `make' alot and every few days make locks up. It
does not respond to any signals from the keyboard (Ctrl-C, Ctrl-Z, etc).
strace shows that make is sitting in WAIT. I wonder if something is wrong
in the fork system call. I am using libc5.2.18 and I am using the version
of make that has the dirent fix.
