You mean without a timeout, right?
With a timeout a value of nil doesn't guarantee you've had all the
data (if the process is still live).

I think we should make sure that

    (if (not (process-live-p p))
        (progn
          (accept-process-output p)
          ;; Here we should be sure that we processed all the output

whereas IIUC currently we need

    (if (not (process-live-p p))
        (progn
          (while (accept-process-output p))
          ;; Here we are presumably sure that we processed all the output

Right?
