This doesn't look like a parallel-safe issue at all to me, but an exhaustment of your OS, which is not so weird with -j16 on a dual core system?

(Resource temporarily unavailable)  clearly indicates your OS is protecting itself from going down under the pressure of a fork-bomb.

I haven't found any issues with it myself, using -j5, so I'll close this bug as invalid.
