I haven't looked at the patch or thought much about the problems yet.
A very obvious problem turned up: after killing makeworld with ^C, the
times reported are usually almost 0 (even after running 800+ seconds).
The times are reasonable if makeworld completes or if a simple foreground
process is killed with ^C. This might be (2).
