Try to interrupt the buildworld during a compile as the compiler will not create the output file until the end of the operation and a restart will re-run the interrupted compile. Some other operations leave the system in an indeterminate state. For example, when creating a library, the library is created and then modules are added. IF the process is re-started, make(1) sees the library with an updated time-stamp and goes on without loading the remaining modules. R.
