That makes no sense.  A running pqsurf(1) might crash due to the "make
install" command copying a new version, but that shouldn't affect whether
or not make(1) performs the copy.

The following steps should be done in order:

    1.  Stop the LDM

    2.  Install the new pqsurf(1)

    3.  Start the LDM
