fork vs. multithreaded CPU...

... and fork is losing, and it's driving me crazy.

On my P4 550 (3.40GHz) with 1.5.23, .24, as well as current snapshot
(didn't have this computer before that), I always get fork errors, such as:

../libtool: fork: Resource temporarily unavailable

usually when building packages, always leading to errors in the build
process, due to incomplete commands being sent to gcc, etc.

Parallel make has been ruled out.  Rebase does not help.  AFAICS either
this is a bash issue (since configure, libtool, etc. are all bash
scripts), or with Cygwin itself.

My (LONG) cygcheck.out attached.
