[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

I have a friend who is using Emacs 24.5 on Windows, and who is experiencing a
strange behavior: Unicode quotes display properly, but after *invoking* a
'make' command -- even with its output fully redirected to a file -- buffer
decoding begins to fail, causing later quotes to be display as escape codes.

I'm attaching a screenshot from his machine, to show the behavior:

[Message part 3 (text/plain, inline)]

Note that in a fresh shell, cat'ing the saved file (test-output) does NOT mess
up the quotes. So it's a mysterious side-effect of calling 'make'. Also,
saying 'make xxxx' where xxxx is not a valid target, produces the appropriate
error message and does not mess up the quotes.

Any ideas?
