make.exe v3.79 produces a GPF intermittantly on Windows 2000.

It's very difficult to reproduce because it doesn't happen 100% of the
time.  I think that it's sensitive to the directory tree structure and
the size of the pathnames but I'm just guessing.  Perhaps there's an
allocation problem in the use of recursive MAKE.

Here's a paired down example:

This is the makefile:
--------------------------------

SHELL = g:/cygnus/bash.exe

DIRLIST:=`ls -p | grep -e "/" | tr -d '/'`

hehaw:
	echo Hehaw: $(DIRLIST)
	for dir in $(DIRLIST) ; do $(MAKE) DOSUBDIRS=Y -C $$dir hehaw
; done 

Makefiles in subdirectories look like this:
-----------------------------------

SHELL = g:/cygnus/bash.exe
DIRLIST:=`ls -p | grep -e "/" | tr -d '/'`

hehaw:
ifdef DOSUBDIRS
	echo Hehaw: $(DIRLIST)
	for dir in $(DIRLIST) ; do $(MAKE) DOSUBDIRS=Y -C $$dir hehaw
; done 
endif
