Ah yes, thanks.

Actually, that case still hangs for me, under both Unix and Windows.  Could 
you please test that again, being sure to delete the "test.2" file before 
running?

(If "test.2" exists before running, then indeed make does not hang.  But 
deleting "test.2" from .SECONDARY would cause make to delete it at the end 
of the first run, and then it will hang on the second and subsequent runs.  
I believe that's the same issue as if you did "touch test.int" and then ran 
the original makefile.)
