Linus,
I agree that there may be some problem in the code above -- the question is what has changed to make this behavior emerge? I see it with a host of programs(ssh, make, netscape) -- true all are userspace. Time permitting, I may attempt to track this down in ssh and make in jobserver mode. It may be related to some interaction that changed underneath.
