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");
         }
