I have had trouble lately with the 'compile' command. Seems that it is buffering stdout and stderr to the *compilation* window. I don't get to see what happens until some buffer size is hit, or the status goes to 'exit'. At that time, the stdout and stderr are flushed, but since they fill up at different speeds, they are not coordinated. It didn't use to do this, it used to put up a line into the window as soon as it was put out to stderr or stdout. I don't have this problem with a shell window. Seems to me that whatever buffering was happening in one process window (i.e. compile) should happen in the other window (i.e. shell). Apparently not. Any clues? --
