Contrary to what its info entry says, process-status does not work if
its argument is a buffer name; in emacs -Q, evaluating the form:
(let* ((buffer "bc-buf")
(bc (start-process "bc" buffer "/usr/bin/bc")))
(mapcar 'process-status (list buffer (get-buffer buffer))))
yields:
(nil run)
The following patch fixes this problem for me:

* process.c (Fprocess_status): Accept buffer names.
Update docstring to match info description.

Yes, we can't accept buffer names in process-status because it already
treats strings as process names.
I've updated the lisp manual. Thanks for spotting this.
