[bug #15919] Make-3.81 rc1 hangs with -j 2 but not with -j 1

[Icarus Sparry]

Follow-up Comment #15, bug #15919 (project make):

If I take the current (July 4th 2007) sources of make from CVS (Paul has just
updated the license to GPL 3), and apply my patch I get the following output

$ make -j2
cp 1.a 1.b
cp 2.a 2.b
cp 1.b 1.c
cp 2.b 2.c
rm 1.b 2.b

Note that there have been 7 changes to remake.c since 3.81 was released. In
particular there has been a fix for bug 16051
<https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs?16051>, which may affect the result.

It is hard to get enthusiastic about fixing bugs, or even reporting them when
the current maintainer sits for over a year on a request to be added to the
project. Not accepting, not rejecting, just ignoring the request.

Then one attempts to help other people, and they can not even spell my name
correctly!
