It generally a good thing to shut down while running the "make install"
that copies the executables into place - as you say, some systems are
not quite fond of having the running executables disappear.
But I cannot really see why it would affect the "bbgen" program, which
only runs for a few seconds (at the most) every minute.
Nor can I - unless maybe the system Jason is using (I forget which OS he
said he was running) hasn't gotten around to flushing that image out of
the particular pages in physical memory? Or, I could just be talking out
of my hat & this specific point could be due to another issue entirely.
