bug#2930: 23.0.92; `accept-process-output' and `sleep-for' do not run sentinels |

The documentation for sentinels states:
A program can wait, so that sentinels will run, by calling
`sit-for' or `sleep-for' (...), or `accept-process-output' (...).
However, when I do M-x eval-region RET on the following forms in
"emacs -Q", then Emacs loops unexpectedly:
(defun my-sentinel (proc str)
(setq my-finished t))
(let ((p (start-process "bc" nil "bc"))
my-finished)
(set-process-sentinel p 'my-sentinel)
(process-send-string p "quit\n")
(while (not my-finished)
(accept-process-output nil 0.1)))
When I replace the call of `accept-process-output' with (sleep-for
0.1), it also does not run the sentinel. (sit-for 0.1) works as
documented, but is not a good alternative for the other functions in
this case: If keyboard input is available, `sit-for' returns
immediately, so it is currently unfortunately also necessary to
discard keyboard input to make such a loop reliably run the sentinel.
