Make-3.81 rc1 hangs with -j 2 (multiplatform)

[J. David Bryan]

I originally reported a make-3.81rc1 hang against the Windows port here:

  http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/make-w32/2006-02/msg00058.html

...but I've now tried the test makefile on a different system, and the same 
hang occurs, so I believe it's a general make issue.  I built and tested 
rc1 on "sparc-sun-solaris2.9" using gcc 3.3.2.  "touch" and "sh" are the 
versions that came with the OS (this was tested under my ISP Unix shell 
account).
