Unless there's a really compelling reason for this change I think it
should be reverted. A *lot* of code depends on the assumption that
`call-process' returns a non-zero value if it fails.
What change are you talking about?
Hmm, some years ago I fixed some calls that incorrectly assumed a
numerical return value, so these are just a few of the places that
will probably fail to work correctly if it signals an error instead:
Hold your horses! You are rushing ahead to solve the problem
using one approach, but I am not sure it is the right approach.
