Hello,

Evaluating expression
(let ((process (start-process "false" nil "false")))
  (sleep-for 1)
  (process-send-string process "Hi there!"))

produces an error of most general kind:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error "Process false not running")
  process-send-string(#<process false> "Hi there!")
  (let ((process ...)) (sleep-for 1) (process-send-string process "Hi there!"))
  eval((let ((process ...)) (sleep-for 1) (process-send-string process "Hi 
there!")))
  eval-last-sexp-1(nil)
  eval-last-sexp(nil)
  call-interactively(eval-last-sexp)


Shouldn't it be something like process-error instead? IMHO signalling
general error in this situation makes catching of errors related with
processes more difficult.

And also end-of-file (end of file during parsing),
invalid-read-syntax, scan-error (not sure about this) probably might
be all in the category parse-error as such condition already exists.
