This problem is probably caused by (an old version of) bash. I had the
same problems on a cluser of Solaris workstations. It (bash) generated
a trap 0 from time to time (when subcommands exited), which caused the 
configure script to die. I haven't seen this behaviour with the current
version of bash.

Have you set up your "machines" file? Have you checked that you can rsh
to the machine(s) your working on?
