Might be some Bash assumption or race that works under other OSs but somehow Linux 
does differently. IIRC Bash is being developed on MacOS-X.

But it's happening all the time (with yum for example - but also with makejobs, as 
Thomas has reported it) - this is simply the first time i managed to reproduce it 
with something really simple.

Thanks,
