If I was doing this, I'd 1) make sure that error_start was working
correctly, 2) run it under strace, or 3) run the configure shell under
gdb.

However, I really don't want to get involved in a "now try this" type of
exercise.  If I have to do all of the thinking for a debugging session I
might as well try to duplicate the problem myself and debug it myself.
