Return from fork after ^C ?
This only happens in nested make/shell scripts.
Top level processes do not cause this problem.
A partial workaround is to reduce to a minimum the
number of environment variables passed down
to the forked process.
export -n
on all variables used only in the top level shell
set +a
at the end of .bashrc similar to the following
unset CYGROOT WINBOOTDIR WINDIR WINPMT BLASTER CMDLINE
unset PROMPT QBACKUP SYMANTEC TEMP CMDLINE ISP16
unset COPYCMD DIRCMD E2CWD HLP NU PKUNZIP CONFIG
export -nf dlow tlow tup which
export -n TZ CVSROOT EDITOR LESSCHARSET PS1 PS2
export -n TMP TERMINFO LS_COLORS C32PATH HISTCONTROL HOSTTYPE
export -n IGNOREEOF SHELLOPTS SHLVL MACHTYPE HOSTNAME OSTYPE
trap '' 5
set +a #do not export variables in subshells
Will get you much farther in configure/make of
the cdk.

=====================================================
Linux a platform built by, and for users, standing on
the firm legs of reliability, and speed.
Microsoft Windows, a platform without a leg to stand on.
