[bug #40361] make 4.0 under hpux 11.31 no longer prints output correctly

[Paul D. Smith]

Follow-up Comment #8, bug #40361 (project make):

Hrm.  Not much of interest here.  What I'm beginning to think is that there's
some kind of memory corruption or something, so that when make thinks it's
printing out the command that it's about to execute it's instead printing out
some other random string buffer.  I'm not sure that it's really related to the
output changes in the end.

That would definitely explain this, since there's no place anywhere in the GNU
make code that we _ever_ print "$(IFS)" for example, and the output we get
(three different output strings) is the same as the number of command lines
make would print.

However, I've run make under valgrind etc. and not found any memory issues. 
So this is very much a mystery to me still.
