GNU Emacs 18.57.8 of Wed Jul 22 1992 on mmi-dev-1 (berkeley-unix)

I have discovered that sometimes starting a compilation process when
another one is running kills the wrong process. To test this, start a
shell. Then start a compilation process (or grep) which takes a while
to complete. From the shell buffer, start another compilation. You get
a prompt saying there is one already running and do you want to kill
it. Wait for the compilation to complete and then type yes. The shell
then terminates.

To fix this, patch compile.el according to the diffs below.
