bug#15833: 24.3.50; sit-for and sentinels

[Helmut Eller]

I updated Emacs sources today like this:

  git pull  # from git://git.savannah.gnu.org/emacs.git. 
  make bootstrap
  
Then I executed

  src/emacs -Q -l test/automated/process-tests.el -f ert-run-tests-batch

The sit-for test fails.  The contents of the *Messages* buffer is:

Unable to load color "unspecified-fg"

Hmm... for me if I add "--batch" then both tests succeed, and if
I use the above command as is (i.e.in an X11 Emacs session) then both
tests fail.

So, it might be timing-dependent.  E.g. it might depend on whether the
process dies before we get to the wait-function?

When I let the process wait a little before exiting, by changing

  (start-process "test" nil "bash" "-c" "exit 20")

to

  (start-process "test" nil "bash" "-c" "sleep 2; exit 20")

the test still fails; even sometimes, but not always, with --batch.
