I`ll proceed in the time order of events:

Tue, 17 Jun 2003 15:52:38 +0400:
                I`ve produced a testcase for make which causes it to bail out 
with a
*** Virtual memory exhausted. Stop
        message on a perfectly valid, sane and real-world Makefile.

                The respective GNU make maintainer replied to me with a short 
message,
which could be reduced to the following quote:
"This is a known bug that has been fixed in the source for a while"

                I forwarded that reply to the Debian Make Maintainer: [EMAIL 
PROTECTED]

Wed, 18 Jun 2003 14:12:31 +0400
                I`ve submitted a Bug into the Debian bugtracking system, which 
has
received a number #197886.

now, after ~12 days the bug was reported, make is still broken.
