On Cygwin, parallel-am.test fails with a segmentation fault in an automake invocation in the last loop of the test, here's the stackdump:
Exception: STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION at eip=610F2804 eax=0000FFD8 ebx=118E6800 ecx=118E9800 edx=118E67E0 esi=118DE828 edi=00009028 ebp=118E67D8 esp=027BC330 program=C:\cygwin\bin\perl.exe, pid 212, thread unknown (0xDDC) cs=001B ds=0023 es=0023 fs=0038 gs=0000 ss=0023 Stack trace: Frame Function Args 118E67D8 610F2804 (00000000, 00000000, 00000000, 00000000) End of stack trace The 'stderr' file contains the two 'installing ...install-sh' and 'missing' lines, but not the rest. I haven't been able to reproduce the bug by repeatedly rerunning automake with AUTOMAKE_JOBS set to 5. Seems like I have a Cygwin bug to report ... Cheers, Ralf
