I explicitly use the build command "make" because of that, but I still see four instances of make running, as well as six instances of bash. This is with message "make VERBOSE=1 test_noninteractive in the installed examples build tree" as the last visible text.

Not at all sure what this means, the information I get from the task manager does not reveal much about what these processes are actually doing (like in which directory etc.)
