I have a problem with compiling C applications with C++ NetBeans pack. When I 
do a mistake (for example syntax error), C++ pack should write it into output. 
But it doesn't write the error once, but in infinity loop. See the screenshot: 
http://wanto.czweb.org/blbosti/screen4.png

There is a project with one file and one syntax error. But see the output...

I use NetBeans 5.5 now. When I used NetBeans 5.0, it was ok.

This issue is a duplicate of Issue 82308. I fixed that one on 8/15 although I
reassiged it rather than closing it as fixed (it may have broken another module).
The next C/C++ Dev pack delivery will have this fix.

As a workaround, remove the empty file ".fail" in the compiling directory. This
file gets created after each error and causes failures if it already exists. So
a partial workaround is to manually remove this file.

Its only a partial workaroud because multiple errors will each try to recreate
the file. Removing it after the 1st error doesn't do any good if it gets
recreated after another error.
