Control-D in grep output

Control-D in grep output

[Perry Smith]

I am running emacs 22.1.1 on AIX 5.3.  When I do "grep" from inside  
emacs the very first line has an extra ^D (control-D, one character).

I've moved my .kshrc, .profile, .bashrc, and .bash_profile files off  
to the side thinking that they somehow were introducing the problem  
but that does not make a difference.

I set debug-on-entry on compilation-start.  When I step through it via  
the debugger, if I step through it slowly, I do not have the issue.   
If I just step a few steps in and then hit continue, I have the problem.

Anyone have some suggestions of what this could be or how to debug it?

Thank you,
Perry

1. Check whether you see the same thing when you run grep from a shell
started with M-x shell.

2. When you debug compilation-start, does the problem occur before or
after compilation-mode has run?

3. Try debugging compilation-filter.
