Setting CONCURRENCY_LEVEL=4 in your user environment should fix this, at
least, it used to.  From the bash command line, for the current session only:

export CONCURRENCY_LEVEL=4

To make it permanent you need to edit /home/[user]/.bash_profile and append:

export CONCURRENCY_LEVEL=4

If you regularly do your kernel work while logged on as root, you'd need to
append it to /root/.bashrc or /root/.profile
