Ok, I've been running the script with the '25 snapshot all day, with 44 
failures.  All the same type of failures I was seeing with the cvs (with 
--enable-debugging).  Unfortunitely, the ethernet card on my home 
machine broke so for now I'll upload one of the strace files to a 
geocites site.  Nothing looks suspicious to me in the strace, maybe it's 
a bug in make?

What I did notice is that I'm getting a tonne of failures "make: *** 
virtual memory exhausted.  Stop."  grep'ing through the make source 
(which I was unable to compile) I see that this can happen when malloc 
returns NULL (makes sense from the message), and I can say that my 
machine has plenty of memory left.  1Gig of ram, and my commit charge 
never exheaded 500Megs during the whole test.  I have my 
'heap_chunk_in_mb' set to 1024.
