Race condition on short Timeout about cmd HOT 3 CLOSED

Thanks for the report. I think the issue is that, in this case, Stop returning nil is misleading because of this block:

    // Nothing to stop if Start hasn't been called, or the proc hasn't started,
    // or it's already done.
    if c.statusChan == nil || !c.started || c.done {
        return nil
    }

If the cmd hasn't started yet, Stop returns nil which gives the impression that it was stopped ok when really it hadn't even started yet. So I don't think there's a race condition per-se, but rather that Stop should return an error, perhaps ErrNotRunning. In that case, caller knows that they need to wait and try again.

Yes, i think that would help. So it's easy to come back laster if the function returns ErrNotRunning.

Well it took a very long time, but finally fixed: #52

Thanks for reporting this!
