If it were a frequent occurrence, there may be some benefit in that. But using only one of the CPUs 8 cores is such a waste when this sort of thing happens only every few weeks. Usually trying again works, rarely does using -j1 make a difference and when it does a bug report ensures that it won't be an issue in future. -- Neil Bothwick PROSTITUTE: Receiver of swollen goods.
