I don't think so, because it's possible for the original value to
exist and yet not be accessible to us. For example, if the original
value exists but we don't have execute permission on it, then
call-process still fails like this:
Debugger entered--Lisp error: (file-error "Setting current directory"
"permission denied" "/tmp/444/")
On the other hand, if we can't cd to (file-name-directory infile) then
we won't be able to read infile anyway.
