This didn't seem to do anything for me.....but I also did not try
several times, and now I'm having a hard time reproducing the
problem. :(
One really odd thing that I did notice on my windows 2000 machines
was that when I do a 'ps -ef' many times in a row quickly, the
test_configure script that I'm using dies...it either segfaults or I
get fork: Resource Temporarily unavailable.
