----------------------+----------------------------------
 (GNU) Make 3.81 has a bug/feature where if it is running processes in
 parallel using -j2 (or more), it waits until all descendent processes have
 exited before it returns to the shell.

 When a command like "make -j2 test-network" is run, this means that test-
 network apparently hangs until it either make or all the tor processes
 have exited.

 A workaround is to use make without -j, or make -j1 if there is an
 existing alias to "make -jn" in the shell.

 One way to resolve this bug in tor is to use "chutney stop" after "chutney
 verify" in test-network.sh. I'll post a github branch that does this
 shortly.

 Another, far more complex way would be to start another process group in
 chutney or something - but that would probably have unintended
 consequences.
