Subject: 27.0.50; `list-processes' assumes `thread-name' cannot return nil
Date: Tue, 11 Jun 2019 07:03:41 +0000

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

In emacs -Q, run:

(make-thread (lambda ()
           (make-process :name "name" :command (list "/bin/sh" "-c"
"while true; do sleep 1; done"))
           (while t
         (thread-yield))))

Then use M-x list-processes. This results in an error as (thread-name
thread) returns nil for the thread, since the optional name argument to
make-thread hasn't been specified.

The attached patch fixes things.
