a couple comments:
The build taskid should wind up in a file somewhere accessible before
nightly starts anything time-consuming like make clobber or bringover;
the cleanest way to kill a mistakenly-started build is with pkill -T --
though maybe the way to do this is by putting the taskid into the lock
file..
Also, it might make sense to put the tool version output you relocated
into a second temporary file that gets prepended to $mail_msg_file, so
that the tool versions show up early in the output (on a related note, I
think it would make sense to use a similar technique to truncate the
list of files updated in the bringover output at a few hundred lines,
but that's not this bug).
(by "bringover" I of course am also referring to the equivalent with
other SCM systems..)
