Thanks David. (You mean the doc string for call-process of course.)

It is BTW a bit hard to understand what "if you quit" means here, but it 
is described in "(elisp) Synchronous Processes" I see now. Maybe the doc 
string needs a bit more explanation?

From this info node:

  While Emacs waits for the synchronous subprocess to terminate, the
  user can quit by typing `C-g'.

Why not have this behaviour for async processes too then? Ambigouties 
can perhaps be removed by that little question I added to my suggestion 
in another message.
