Emacs 19.25, Sun Sparc 1 running SunOS 4.1.3.

I've noticed three bugs when using M-x compile:

* next-error doesn't respect compilation-window-height.  In my .emacs
I have (setq compilation-window-height 16).  If I start a compile,
then make the *compilation* buffer's window go away (by doing C-x 1 in
the other window), and subsequently do C-x ` (next-error), then the
*compilation* buffer fills half the frame.

* Sometimes the output from the compile will be placed in the
*compilation* buffer before the "commands" that Emacs inserts in the
buffer.  Eg when I do M-x compile, I see something like this:

================================================================
gcc stuff...
cd /path/to/directory
make -k
================================================================

This is very confusing, because often I don't see the compilation
output at all (until I move point to that window and scroll around).

* I usually run with two frames up (under X).  Sometimes I make
*compilation* the only buffer displayed in one frame.  If I do this,
and then compile, then the *compilation* buffer is shrunk to
compilation-window-height lines, leaving a huge echo area.  I think
that if *compilation* the the only buffer displayed in its frame, then
compilation-window-height should be ignored.
