Subject: emacs-nox hogs CPU if backgrounded during compile
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

Hi all,

The following STC causes emacs-nox to peg a CPU indefinitely. Emacs 
remains responsive, but C-c C-k doesn't kill the compile; you have to 
exit emacs to remove the "Compiling" status. Killing the buffer or 
starting a new compile offers to kill the offending process, but doesn't.

Attaching gdb shows an endless loop inside 
kernelbase.dll!RaiseException, but provides no other clues that I could see.

1. emacs-nox -Q
2. M-x compile
3. C-a C-k sleep 1; echo hi
4. ^Z (before the sleep finishes)
5. fg (after the sleep finishes)

I don't know if this is related to limited pipe buffering, but I don't 
think so: it has always worked in the past, and the the 3-4 bytes 
required to buffer up "hi\n" is hardly onerous.
