I have no idea in what way to change
`process-coding-system-alist'. The doc string and
(elisp) `Default Coding System' give me no hint that
I can recognize.
I don't even know whether it is the VAL (which is
`(raw-text-dos . raw-text-unix)') that is incorrect
or it is the PATTERN (which is "bash") that is
incorrect, or both.
And it is not even a user option.
_Someone_ should be able to tell "what changed
since Emacs 25", hopefully. This is a (presumaby
incompatible) change in Emacs, not something a user
has provoked, AFAICS.
Suddenly something that (still) works in all prior
Emacs releases (as far back as Emacs 20, at least)
no longer works.
