Yes, but I also saw it on Mac OSX (10.3). And I'm pretty sure I've seen 
it on linux as well. You need a really big project, though. I'm guessing 
it's some sort of threshold for how many spawns it has to do. Maybe when 
it wraps the 16-bit number or something.
Actually, I got my package wrong. It is in jblack's tlacontrib called 
"update-config" (created by Dustin Sallings).
