29.3; suspicious error message from compile command in Emacs 29.3 |

The following error message appears in the terminal from which emacs was
started every time I use the 'compile' command:
> emacs: writing to child signal FD: Invalid argument
The compilation itself (via make) works perfectly fine. Only this new
message is a bit annoying. And so cryptic, isn't it? It did not appear
up until the latest update.
This error message (or whatever it is) appears also, when I start emacs
from a non-X tty (Ctrl + Alt + F2) and with '-Q' option. To be precise,
it appears when I use 'M-x compile' and for longer compilation processes
it appears at the end of the compilation, not at the beginning.
Best Regards,
Tom

OK, I'm therefore closing the bug, as in Emacs 30 this message will
not happen even if you don't redirect.
