Details:
patch attached, it's self-evident now.
nobody should be affected if '>' bash operator works as expected, I guess. The
only question is, what does '>' do if it happens in parallel to the same file
?
maybe if the file is big enough, it would overwrite some contents...
My '>' had O_APPEND in addition, so it only added to it, in effect increasing
e.tmac and doc.tmac file sizes when make -j4 (not -j1) was used.
