I've run it twice so far, 128 iterations, then about 2500, running it a 
third time now.  In both cases, it was make hanging with 0% cpu usage, 
and I lost the strace from the second run (I tried using "/bin/kill -f 
pid", and the return code from the make process was 0, so the script 
kept going).
