global-hl-line-mode doesn't work right in the *compilation* buffer

[Dieter Wilhelm]

CVS data from today:

./emacs -Q -D
M-x global-hl-line-mode
M-x cd ".."
M-x compile "./configure"
C-x o (into the *compilation* buffer)
M-> (to the already hidden end of the *compilation* buffer)

Emacs highlights now the buffer position where the cursor started up
to the current cursor position instead of only the current cursor
line.
