Yes: if you use the obsolete and discouraged MILLISEC agument, then the
SECONDS argument needs to be an integer.

[Message part 4 (text/plain, inline)]

When I do (accept-process-output fooproc 0.1 0 1), I get the following error
(wrong-type-argument integerp 0.1)

According to the help page for accept-process-output:
[quote]
Non-nil second arg seconds and third arg millisec are number of seconds
and milliseconds to wait; return after that much time whether or not
there is any subprocess output.  If seconds is a floating point number,
it specifies a fractional number of seconds to wait.
The millisec argument is obsolete and should be avoided.
[/unquote]

The seconds argument should accept floating point, just as it does in
emacs-22.
