Calling Process.GetProcessesByName might throw spurious
InvalidOperationExceptions. This happens when it tries to get the process name
of a process, and that process has already exited.

Repro:

1) Start something that'll create a process frequently. For instance:

while echo again; do sleep 1; echo once again; done

2) Execute Process.GetProcessByName a few times. For instance using csharp:
csharp> new List<System.Diagnostics.Process>
(System.Diagnostics.Process.GetProcessesByName ("bash")).ForEach ((v) =>
Console.WriteLine (v.ProcessName));

I get an exception in about ~25% of the runs, this is the exception:

System.InvalidOperationException: Process has exited, so the requested
information is not available.
