I've had the same problem under SysVr3.2, on a 68020-based system.
Others have complained as well.  I've tabled dmake for now ... the only
reason I wanted it was for the -P option, as we have to have makefiles
compatible with SysV's make, but can make use of multiple processors.
If I have time in the next year, I'll try to track this down and make it
usable, otherwise, well, it's worth the price I paid ...
