I finally figured out exactly why this happens: if you have a recursive variable that is exported and the value is a $(shell ...) function, then you'll get this error (this error means that parallel builds would eventually turn non-parallel as tokens are lost).
I'll be looking at it today I hope. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Paul D.
