Attached is a very simple makefile which demonstrates the problem. There's a leak either in make itself or in the spawning of subprocesses.

Beware! this will likely lock up your machine, or at the very least prevent you from launching any new processes.

Simply type "make" with this makefile in the same directory. It invokes another target defined within the makefile which does an "echo" a couple thousand times.
