I stumbled on this with Emacs 18.54 running on Sprite, but I've reproduced the problem with 18.55 on 4.3 Reno and with 18.56. Suppose you're running Emacs over a slow comm link (where "slow" is slow enough that Emacs goes into "Slow Terminal Incremental Search" mode) and you're doing an incremental search forward. (The bug might also apply to backward search; I didn't check.) Suppose further that Emacs has to use the single-line window because the text you're searching for is far away. When you stop the search (by hitting ESC), the mark is not set. (It should be set to the place you started the search from.) If you repeat the experiment but ^S to something only a line or two off the screen, Emacs won't bother with the single-line window, and the mark will be set correctly.
