The culprit is probably TProcess. I split out TProcess in Win32/unix
parts, and did some major rewriting under Linux. However, all test
programs ran fine, so I assumed it was OK to commit. I didn't test
lazarus, however.

Can you do the following:

1. Start lazarus under strace:

   strace -f -o laz.log lazarus

2. Let the IDE rebuild itself. If it freezes, kill it.

3. Send me the output of strace. Preferably only the part that appears
   around the Fork() call used to call 'make'. (the log may be HUGE)
