I have seen freezing with 2.0.0 as well. For example, I often run make
locally in X windows to an NSF mounted disk. The make process sometimes
freezes and does not repond to any signals generated from the keyboard (^Z,
^C, ^\, etc...). The network appears fine because I am able to telnet to the
machine that is the server for the NSF mounted disk as well as interact with
that disk from another XWindow. `strace' indicates that make is in a wait
system call. I have also seen this behavoir with another program so I do
not think it is a bug in make.
