There can be many reasons. In my case it was the number of items to index on each cron run. I lowered it and the error disappeared. Do so on admin/settings/search.

But I still don't know which setting causes this error.

php is timing out (max_execution_time) because the reindex time is too long. Decreasing the number of items to index will overcome this issue. Or increasing the max_execution_time setting will help also.

If this issue is resolved, please set this issue to closed.

After running "sudo drush cron", I got the following:
PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function views_build_view() in /var/www/html/../drupal-6.22/includes/common.inc(1696) : eval()'d code on line 6
Drush command terminated abnormally due to an unrecoverable error. [error]

Well, now you know that there is a problem with Views. Check for available updates on your modules.

Also, you can configure your php.ini to increase the max_execution_time. In ubuntu it would be something like /etc/php5/cli/php.ini
