    >> Sure, that can be done. Does the patch actually solve the problem,

    emacsq> We have information if it's a network connection: if (NETCONN_P (proc))

    emacsq> So using that we can improve the message. Something like:

    emacsq> if (NETCONN_P (proc))
    emacsq>   "Network error: <process> <error message>"
    emacsq> else
    emacsq>   "Process <process> not running: <error message>"

`status_message' already produces different messages based on whether
itʼs a network connection, so I donʼt think thatʼs necessary.

Have you been able to try the original patch? I now realise that
youʼre on windows, which explains why you were seeing problems
originally.
