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

[Rolf Campbell]

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.
