 When a process is printed, so is its name, so why wouldn't it be printed here?

Oh, good point. I'll use CHECK_LIVE_PROCESS there as well and apply
the patch to cvs.

 If you want to be more adventurous, I'd suggest some more
general
 changes to make these type errors clearer. I've always hated these.
 For example:

 Wrong type: wanted an event, got a vector: [down-button 2]

 Wrong type: wanted a live process, got a dead one: #<process ...> 
cool. I've always found the errors pretty unhelpful. I'll implement
this. Thanks for the suggestion!

...
 3. BLUE SKY ALERT: What would be even better would be if the error
    would also print something about what function it's in, but
    that's harder. 
I'll have a look at this.
