* compiling or grepping always shows ":Run Compiling"

I'd like some ideas of how to troubleshoot this.

I used to use emacs 21.1, and it worked fine, and the source was compiled on
the SCO machine at work.

I just compiled emacs 21.3.50, and it doesn't work, and I don't have a clue
how to start finding out why it doesn't work.

I think it is some kind of comint buffer problem, but don't know how to
verify/validate this.

On my Mandrake Linux 10.0 machine at home, and my Windows XP/Cygwin machine at
work, emacs 21.3.50 works totally correct, in that grepping or compiling show
their results, and then the Compiling tag goes away from in the mode line.

On my SCO box, the Compiling tag never leaves, and all buffer mode lines show
"Compiling".

The grep and compile work okay, and I can click in the buffer to open files at
the appropriate locations as reported in the grep and compilation buffer, but
the Compile tag never goes away.

Kind of annoying, as I use that to tell when the compile is done.

Any ideas, anyone?  Where do I begin to look for this?

Dave

`M-x report-emacs-bug' or mailto:emacs-devl@gnu.org directly.

I don't really want to report it as a bug unless I can prove that it is not
just something stupid going on here.

If it happens when you invoke emacs with the -q -no-site-file options,
it is likely an Emacs bug.

I really don't want to read about problems with unreleased versions
here.

It happens with the "-q -no-site-file", so perhaps it is a bug.

So, where should an item such as this be mentioned?  What list is appropriate,
please?

Sorry i was so curt.  For Emacs 21.3 (released), bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org
is correct.  For Emacs 21.3.50 (CVS), emacs-devel@gnu.org is correct.
In both versions, M-x report-emacs-bug does the right thing.

I see that behaviour also sometimes.

When I issue the following command:
M-: (setq compilation-in-progress nil)

The "Compiling" goes away.

Is the process still running in your circumstance?  When I go to exit emacs
later, I always get a warning that the process is still running.

I'll have to look and see if ps shows me the process.  I've assumed it is
running...

No the process has already finished when that happened.

Hmm, my process is finished, well, actually, it shows in ps as <defunct>.

Is that some kind of clue, to the more worldly out there?
