This is strange.  What does the corruption look like?  On my system, parts
of C programs were written to the .depend file.  This might be a separate
problem with generation of just this .depend file.

This is getting murky.  There are so many possible things to blame!

I ran with -j2 but have only 12Mb of ram, so it does a lot of paging.
Could your -j9 be enough to cause your system to page?  Bruce's changes
could be just a coincidence if you only started stressing your system
recently.
