Indeed, and make's --output-sync flag should be enough to keep individual test output distinct. What is perhaps a problem is that I'm not sure our tests all support being run in parallel with each other without tripping each other up by using the same temporary file / TCP port / etc at once. To the extent that this doesn't work it's a bug, but we should start by doing a solid soak test of the test suite to make sure -j<bignum> works reliably. thanks -- PMM
