I tried to interrupt the memory consuming build of the current thunderbird installation on the command line with Ctrl-Z. The emerge program stopped, the rest of the child programs continued. In earlier times I could stop the whole build including all child programs with Ctrl-Z. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. On command line start the build of thunderbird 2. During the build press Ctrl-Z 3. Actual Results: Programs keep running Expected Results: Programs stop working until being reactivated by the "fg" or "bg" command snippet from "ps faxw", in process 8892 I pressed Ctrl-Z: 8892 pts/1

There is something weird going on with parallelization on mozilla products, but did it just finish the one heavy process and stop after perhaps? So it didn't start new processes, but finished the active ones?
Hey Joonas, thanks for asking The process list shows only one process (emerge world, pid 8894) in stopped state. All the other processes are allowed to continue. So it seems, the emerge process does not propagate the signal to its child processes. But yes, you are right. I only tested Ctrl-Z twice and looked about 10 seconds to the result. I did not check, if the make process stopped spawning new processes. Judging from the process state I'd say it does spawn new processes.
Just a minor note: In previous build systems consisting of ebuild, configure, make and gcc typing Ctrl-z has been enough to stop the entire build immediately. With all (sub-)processes waiting in stopped state (T). I thought this should be the same over here? all the best
I don't think this is Mozilla specific, I can reproduce it with e.g. Emacs.
