I have some changes not yet installed in CVS (I will install them in
the next few days) and one of them is changing the rules for finding
the appropriate source buffer for `next-error'.  Perhaps, this change
will fix your problem.  Could you provide more details about this case?

produced the last next-error capable buffer?  Maybe, you need to
change the rules in the `next-error-find-buffer' function?
