This can happen if the directory name associated with the compilation buffer is different from a buffer that already holds the correct file (even tho the different paths resolve to the same place.) This patch is a small modification to compile.el which checks if there is an existing buffer which contains the same true-name as the supplied argument. this is a patch to compile.el (relative to lisp/xemacs-base/) I hope this patch is useful to somebody.
