[maker-devel] WARNING: Multiple MAKER processes have been started in the same directory.

That's good to know the seg fault is gone.  Sorry for the confusion, but I
don't seem to have received your other e-mail about the "multiple process
warning".

Could you run '/maker/src/Build status' and send me the output?

Thanks,
Carson
