After running emacs for *some* time(like one or two days), call-process
starts to fail:

  (call-process "ls")

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (file-error "Creating process pipe" "no error")
  call-process("ls")
  eval((call-process "ls") nil)
  eval-last-sexp-1(nil)
  ad-Orig-eval-last-sexp(nil)
  eval-last-sexp(nil)
  call-interactively(eval-last-sexp nil nil)

What exactly does this mean?
