Has anyone ever come across and/or has a fix for the following?

I am running emacs-18.57, on DecStation5000/200 running 
ULTRIX V4.1 and DecWindows.  

I encounter intermittent problem with M-x compile (the heavier the
load on the system, more often the problem seem to occur): when "make"
(or any other command) exits after completing its task, emacs freezes.
It doesn't respond to any keys, the time in the status line is not
updated...  Curiously, X refreshing still works (i.e., if I obscure
the emacs window with another and then remove this other window,
emacs's window will be repainted, but emacs will remain frozen.)

The problem occurs regardless of whether "make" was successful or not.

"ps" doesn't show any "make" or exiting processes; it doesn't show emacs
using any CPU in this frozen state either.

An example of a frozen screen:

cd /usr/users....
make -k
Make: No arguments or description file. Stop.

--**-Emacs: *compilation*  1:59pm (Compilation: run)----all-----


Any ideas?  Thank you,
