Build #25 started because of this change:

       Changed files:

By the time build #25 had completed, I had come along and pushed the  
"Force Rebuild" button:

"""
Reason:
The web-page 'force build' button was pressed by 'zooko': see if it  
still fails
"""

http://allmydata.org/buildbot-darcs/builders/thorkil%20mac% 
20Darwin-9.1.0%20powerpc/builds/26

Then by the time build #26 had finished, I had already pushed that  
button again:

"""
Reason:
The web-page 'rebuild' button was pressed by 'zooko': it doesn't make  
sense that Tommy's patch would cause this bug in the ask_deps.sh test
"""

http://allmydata.org/buildbot-darcs/builders/thorkil%20mac% 
20Darwin-9.1.0%20powerpc/builds/27

And then by the time build #27 completed, two more changes had been  
committed to trunk:

(By the way, I object to the use of the word "blame" in that status  
page, and I've opened a ticket with buildbot to make it convenient to  
replace that.)

http://buildbot.net/trac/ticket/268 # I wish to be free of the use of  
the word "blame" to mean responsibility.


So Thorkil, is that a satisfying explanation?  Is the frequent  
rebuilding causing a problem for you?

Zooko
