Good question, the docs say:

  If DESTINATION is 0, ‘call-process’ returns immediately with value nil.
  Otherwise it waits for PROGRAM to terminate
  and returns a numeric exit status or a signal description string.

I guess if mutool is killed externally while emacs runs it, it could be
such a "signal description string" in which case eql would be better
even though that situation seems unlikely.  I'll change that later.

Thanks for the heads-up,
Tassilo
