I realize that this isn't the best of all possible bug reports. But it is the most information I have been able to get in the past few weeks.
I've been plagued with a problem running XEmacs. After a random amount of time, running subprocesses fail with not a pipe. I have never been able to find anything out about it. However, today I was looking at pstree and noticed at some point that XEmacs dropped off of the output.
Here's the sequence of ps before and after. Note that I continued to edit with XEmacs even after ps said it was defunct.

You'll notice that 3980 is listed as defunct now. At this point any attempt to run a subprocess from xemacs fails. My last attempt resulted in Opening pty or pipe: Invalid argument.
Exiting XEmacs and restarting works for a while but the problem recurs. Nothing terribly intersesting is happening on the box other than my running XEmacs, Eclipse, and Outlook.
Perhaps related, rxvt sometimes simply disappears out from under me after a command, typically a bash script exits. No dump, no nothing.
