What you're seeing is Purify crashing during instrumentation. The problem
is usually transient, related to the state of the machine and the particular
build revision. Unfortunately, we don't have great insights as to what's
causing it. Here are things you can do to try to resolve the issue:
* rdp into the machine and dismiss any alert dialogs that are there
* do a clobber build
* reboot the machine
* wait for a couple of builds and see if it goes away on its own
Also unfortunately, the debug cycle on this is fairly long, so it will be
unclear what exactly caused the problem to get fixed.
As sheriff, if you see it get into this state and stay in this state despite
you doing the previous steps, the next step is to see if it reproduces on
another machine (perhaps your own desktop). You don't necessarily need to
do a full build, you could grab the build output from the build machine if
that would be faster.
If it does repro, then it's likely that we have a reproducible bug that we
can send off to IBM to try to get a fix for. They've been fairly responsive
when the crash is reproducible. Unfortunately, the more recent instances we
have of these crashers have not been reproducible, so we've not been able to
get them fixed.

Any insights would be appreciated...
