>Description:
	Performing a "make run-depends-list" loops indefinitely,
	spawning pairs of new make processes and shells until the
	process table is full.

>How-To-Repeat:
	make run-depends-list

	  Watch some ten thousands of lines of the form

	ncurses>=5.0
	ncurses>=5.0
	...

	  on the display until the process table is filled.

	  While this is going on, "ps -wwax" produces a corresponding
	  number of pair of lines of the form (split for 'readability'):
