Ahh, it's possibly from bmake? Which makes sense to me:
./contrib/bmake/job.c
if (count == 1 && tok != '+') {
/* make being aborted - remove any other job tokens */
DEBUG2(JOB, "(%d) aborted by token %c\n", getpid(), tok);
while (read(tokenWaitJob.inPipe, &tok1, 1) == 1)
continue;
/* And put the stopper back */
while (write(tokenWaitJob.outPipe, &tok, 1) == -1 &&
errno == EAGAIN)
continue;
if (shouldDieQuietly(NULL, 1))
exit(6); /* we aborted */
Fatal("A failure has been detected "
"in another branch of the parallel make");
}
