This is not good at all. This means that somehow make lost track of a child process: that child process died and was somehow reaped, but make either didn't catch the signal (which should not be possible) or else make didn't handle it properly when it was caught... which seems unlikely since I'd think we'd have a lot more instances of this happening. I wonder if you have the chance to try this on anything newer than Red Hat Enterprise 3. That's pretty old. Is it still using a 2.4 kernel (I know RHEL2 used a 2.4 kernel and RHEL4 used a 2.6 kernel, but I have no idea what RHEL3 used)? -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Paul D.
