process-test-sentinel-wait-function-working-p which is used by
process-test-sentinel-sit-for looks racy. Just because the process
sentinel has been called is no guarantee that the process has exited
and had its process-status set correctly, perhaps it should loop on
'process-live-p'

The process-test-stderr-buffer timeout I can't explain: nothing there
can wait longer than 2 seconds (unless itʼs 'make-process' thatʼs
timing out?)
