Seems like a sound approach in general. It seems awkward to apply the method to this particular failure, though. I guess one would need extra code in regrtest.py to catch the invalid signal, for a start. [Martin v. Löwis] > Buildbot also supports submission of patches directly to the > slaves.

Thanks, Martin. I think I've pretty much run out of time to pursue this particular problem for the moment; I may return to it later. It's good to know that these options are available, though.
