Thank you.  I found the problem:  The patch target deleted one of its
prerequisites, which therefore was always remade and newer than
patch-stamp.  The only thing I do not understand is why I couldn't
reproduce this - I think it should have happened all the time.  

This looks like a bug in make; here on the system where I cannot
reproduce it, I get with --debug=v:

        Considering target file `stampdir/patch-stamp'.
          Considering target file `debian/missingfiles.tar.gz'.
           File `debian/missingfiles.tar.gz' does not exist.
           Finished prerequisites of target file `debian/missingfiles.tar.gz'.
          Must remake target `debian/missingfiles.tar.gz'.
uudecode -o debian/missingfiles.tar.gz debian/patches/missingfiles.tar.gz.uu
          Successfully remade target file `debian/missingfiles.tar.gz'.
          Considering target file `stampdir'.
           Finished prerequisites of target file `stampdir'.
          No need to remake target `stampdir'.
         Finished prerequisites of target file `stampdir/patch-stamp'.
         Prerequisite `debian/missingfiles.tar.gz' is newer than target `stampdir/patch-stamp'.
         Prerequisite `stampdir' is order-only for target `stampdir/patch-stamp'.
        No need to remake target `stampdir/patch-stamp'.

Anyway, the problem is fixed in our svn repository.  I won't be able to
make an upload this week, going away for two scientific meetings.  Maybe
someone else in the team can make the upload, otherwise I'll do it at
the beginning of next week.

Regards, Frank
