+Subject: [PATCH] Fix wrong-number-of-arguments error
+
+With Emacs 28 I'm seeing the following error when running the tests.
+
+```
+deferred error : (wrong-number-of-arguments #<subr start-process-shell-command> 4)
+```
+
+I believe this is because the `start-process-shell-command` function
+is called with the command arguments as &rest parameters. This is the
+function signature of `start-process-shell-command`, and it only takes
+3 arguments, the name, buffer, and command. The command argument can
+be a shell string like "ls -l" for example.
+
+```
+(defun start-process-shell-command (name buffer command) ...)
+```
+
+The `start-process` function on the other hand has &rest parameters
+and can be called with a list of arguments.
+
+```
+(defun start-process (name buffer program &rest program-args) ...)
+```
+
+This PR fixes the issue by concatenating the command and it's argument
+before calling out to `deferred:process-buffer-gen`, which is used in
+both cases, when calling `start-process-shell-command`, and when
+calling `start-process`.
