Recent cygwin (1.3.15) causes "make -rsj4" to stop

Title: Message
For months, I've
been running "make -rsj4" to perform some build that generally takes about 4
mins. Recently (when I upgraded from 1.3.14 to 1.3.14), this has been
killing my machine. After about 2 minutes of the make running, I notice my
system becoming very sluggish (like Hitting Ctrl+Alt+Del takes about 3 seconds
to display the window with the "Task Manager" button, then 5 minutes for the
Task manager to run). I was able to kill make. So, as we speak, I
tried running "nice make -rsj4", and it's been running for about 10 minutes
(much longer than it takes to do a full build). Make seems to have gone
off into the wild using as much CPU as possible and never
returning.
The cpu is being
used by make itself (there are no other subprocesses). And make has
stopped running any rules.
This
worked fine
with older cygwins, and works fine without the '-j4' option.
