Eli, you did not include my addition of the IMHO missing "goto error"
in function start_job_command(..) once process_easy(..) failes.
In my case, whithout this patch, make entered an infinite loop.

I havnt tried your current patches, but you probably have verified
that with them my experiment's call into process_easy() will either
no more happen or no more fail.

Additionally, are you sure that no more other failing process_easy()
inside start_job_command(..) will ever happen, or that only the failure
in my tests (as other failures inside start_job_command()) would need
the "goto error" ?

IOW, if you dont have good reasons against my added "goto error",
then we should make sure that it goes into the make381 release.


Best Regards,
Markus.
