Regardless of what I am trying to do, I have reduced the question to this: The first time I execute: (start-process "ls" "testa") it works. Thereafter, each invocation simply exits with no clue as to what is going on (i.e. no output, no error message, no status available from Emacs other than 1, 0, or -1). I have tried to send an extra "kill" to the process after it has expired, in case there was a status bit somewhere, but no luck. What am I doing wrong?
