On MS-DOS, start eshell, and type any command that will result in a
synchronous subprocess being started:

c:/djgpp/bin $ djecho hello

Eshell will complain that `processp' is unbound, because there are two
uses of `processp' in `eshell-eval-command' that need to be replaced
with `eshell-processp'.

If nobody minds, I'll fix this on the release branch by replacing those
calls with `eshell-processp'.

Eli, is that okay?  Thanks.

Yes, of course.  Eshell should never directly call 'processp', except
perhaps in code that makes no sense and isn't called on MS-DOS.

Done, and I'm closing this bug.  Thanks!
