Rolf,
a) Your test case fails on my machine as well, right at the beginning
b) I seem to remember that there was/is a separate problem with "make - -j", even on non-hyperthreasd machines. Unfortunately I cannot search the mailing list right now due to some error (that possibly has to do with cygwin.com's earlier breakdown. I do remember a sentence somewhere like "We don't recommend that you use 'make -j' as it seems to be broken"
c) Running your testcase with '-j1' instead of '-j2' does not fail on my machine
Thanks for you info Volker. Here's what I've figured out:
This test does fail (in the same way) on non-hyperthreaded machines (Win2000Pro on a PIII). But, this is a regression from 1.5.12 (that test runs fine on the non-HT machine with 1.5.12. There was (maybe still is) a problem with running "make -j" without the max task counter, but "make -j2" has always worked very well on non-ht machines.
I will try out some other snapshots and see if I can narrow down the time when this showed up later today.
-Rolf
