   (forgot to mention version in previous message; it is 18.51)

   This is surely not a bug, but it's a confusing error message which I can't
   find documented. It has to do with TeX-buffer and related commands.
   'doctor' does not help.

   Any hints will be appreciated. Thanks, Phil Nelson

   I run emacs -q file.tex
   (Any TeX file has this problem.) (Or visit a new file and put any TeX input
   in the buffer.)

   I immediately say M-x TeX-buffer
   Here is debug output:
   Signalling: (wrong-type-argument stringp nil)
     start-process("TeX-shell" #<buffer *TeX-shell*> "/usr/local/tools/gnu-emacs-1851/etc/env" "TERMCAP=emacs:co#80:tc=unknown:" "TERM=emacs" "EMACS=t" "-" nil "-v")
     apply(start-process "TeX-shell" #<buffer *TeX-shell*> "/usr/local/tools/gnu-emacs-1851/etc/env" "TERMCAP=emacs:co#80:tc=unknown:" "TERM=emacs" "EMACS=t" "-" nil "-v")
     byte-code("JK	KQ!EEEL!	\n

   The second try in one session is different. Now the debug output is:
   Signalling: (error "Process TeX-shell does not exist")
     quit-process("TeX-shell" t)
     byte-code("ABC@\"" [t nil quit-process "TeX-shell"] 3)

     byte-code("LST!
