 At python.org, we sometimes get such builds:
 http://www.python.org/dev/buildbot/all/builders/i386%20Ubuntu%203.x/builds/490

 As far as I know, this is because some web bots or crawlers sometimes push
 the "force build" button without any branch info, triggering a new build
 which fails immediately on SVN. It happens irregularly but is quite
 annoying when it happens, since lots of builders then become in the
 "mauve" state (what's the name for it?). It would be nice if entering the
 wrong SVN branch or URL when filling these forms didn't produce such a
 status change.
