Emacs 18.55 and subprocesses

[James Gallagher]

I posted this question about a week ago, but I think the mailer here ate it
up. If this is a duplicate, I apologize.

I have not been able to get Emacs 18.55 to compile programs. When I do M-x
compile, the compilation hangs. gcc gets fired up, but when gcc-cpp exits
it's process becomes a zombie (<defunct>). The same command works on our sun
machines (SunOS 4.1.1), so I'm inclined to think the problem is with the A/UX
port of emacs 18.55.

Specs: A/UX 2.0, Mac II 8M 
       Emacs 18.55, gcc-1.39
