There was no stack dump.  I've only seen this problem in rxvt.  I only 
see it less than 5% of the time.  I saw it happen about 5 times today. 
I've only seen it when I was running make.  I just tried running 'sleep 
1' about 100 times, and all of them ran in the foreground.  I will try 
using the NT console to run all my stuff tomorrow and let you know if I 
see it outside rxvt.
