Please write in English if possible, because the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators to read other languages for them.

Your bug report will be posted to the bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org mailing list,
and to the gnu.emacs.bug news group.

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:

(process-status nil) returns an error (please see below) in spite of
it's documentation
claiming that it's argument can indeed be nil.

                 Buffer gasket_tilting.mac has no process

And this works (not ;-)) for all of my buffers.

Many thanks for Emacs 23

   Dieter

If Emacs crashed, and you have the Emacs process in the gdb debugger,
please include the output from the following gdb commands:
    `bt full' and `xbacktrace'.
If you would like to further debug the crash, please read the file
/appl/emacs/emacs-23.1/etc/DEBUG for instructions.

It says that if the argument is nil, process-status will use the current
buffer's process.  But if the current buffer doesn't have any process,
then of course it'll signal an error.  That's why the error is:

                 Buffer gasket_tilting.mac has no process
rather than
                 nil is not a valid process
