    Uncaught exception when name_by_pid() fails to call ps
    
    Our name_by_pid() function is documented as returning None if it can't deterine
    the process name, but we accidently exposed a possible OSException via our ps
    call. Ran into this during arm development...
    
      File "/home/atagar/Desktop/arm/arm/util/tracker.py", line 398, in _tor_status_listener
        tor_cmd = system.name_by_pid(tor_pid) if tor_pid else None
      File "/home/atagar/Desktop/arm/stem/util/system.py", line 272, in name_by_pid
        results = call(GET_NAME_BY_PID_PS % pid)
      File "/home/atagar/Desktop/arm/stem/util/system.py", line 921, in call
        raise exc
      OSError: ps -p 30834 -o comm returned exit status 1
