Same here. (tried on amd64 and i386) Looking at the output of "imake ..."
with less shows somtimes a lot of NULL at the beginning, another time
the expected input for "make ...". Just counting the output using "wc"
gives:

Haven't looked at the source, but seems like some "games" with buffering
or buffer usage going south?
