make-3.80-1: "virtual memory exhausted" bug

[Andrew Schulman]

make-3.80-1 suffers from the "virtual memory exhausted" bug:  

http://www.mail-archive.com/bug-make@gnu.org/msg02871.html

Following that discussion thread leads to a patch available at 
https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/index.php?func=detailitem&item_id=1517 
(although I had to reformat the patch: try 
http://home.comcast.net/~andrex/misc/make-3.80-eval-crash.patch).

The bug is triggered by passing a long string to the "eval" function.  I 
ran into this recently and couldn't run make until I built a version 
patched with the above patch.

Andrew.
