It's the intended operation of pmake/bmake from 4.4BSD. One reason I believe we haven't trusted 'make -j' in the past is it can be very hard to unwind the output when there is a build error. It turns out this is because dg in the past neutered them (presumably he didn't understand their value). After having used a bmake with the stock behavior I've seen how valuable the markers are. -- -- David (obrien@FreeBSD.org)
