Gary:

I don't see that as an option in /usr/share/examples/etc/make.conf.
Did you find that one by reading the source code?  I will add that
to my /etc/make.conf and see if it makes a difference.  This issue is
very intermittant and may not trigger for weeks or months.  I'll
repost to the list if any problems show up after setting the flag in
my /etc/make.conf

Thanks for the help.
