Crashes of Inkscape can disturb parallel runs of SVG --> PDF conversions. Add a sub-make run of "make -j1 figs" in the early stage of latex run to make sure any missing PDF figures can be prepared in time. Note: If GNUmake's dependency check is perfect, when there were any missing PDF files remaining, the recipe of autodate.tex shouldn't run. Unfortunately, it looks like that is not the case.
