I've been playing with make version 3.43 and have a problem using an
existing makefile.  It appears that when make spawns a sub-processes
all of make's variables are placed into the new environment of that
process.  Unfortunately, they require more environment space than
the system allows (a tahoe running CCI's System V port), so the routine
gives me strage results (I deduced this by ifdef-ing out the code in
the routine 'new_environ').

Question: if this is a bug in gnumake, has it been fixed in a newer
version?  If it is, how can I get a copy of the new version (I have no
ftp access currently).

Thanks in advance!
