Just tried this combination, 2.0.36-pre14 with Andrea's swap patch
for improving fork() efficiency with cow swapped pages, and got
a vfork() error from make on "make clean" in the kernel source directory.

(from strace:
fork() = -1 EAGAIN (try again)
)

So make retries and gets the same result and eventually gives up.

Nothing running that wasn't also running when make clean succeeded
without the swap patch compiled into the kernel.
