hmmm. Still broken sfaict (see my earlier email).

Never investigated the java one in detail, but the make
one was observed building,
http://search-dev.develooper.com/CPAN/authors/id/M/MI/MIYAGAWA/PHP-Session-0.22.tar.gz
and resulted in make aborting with,
make: *** wait: No child processes. Stop.
make: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
make: *** wait: No child processes. Stop.
without having done any work. Unfortunately my notes don't
record the kernel which this occurred with (and it may
have been a 2.4 series one). I can't reproduce it on
2.6.12.5, so presumably it's either fixed, or is sensitive
to timing / machine configuration / ....
