Comment (by jpichon):

 Have you taken a look at your process list after doing this? When I
 started using "fork" I ended up with a lot of defunct processes (children
 of Mercurial, one for every push) that wouldn't disappear until Mercurial
 is restarted. I only left them hanging a few hours, so perhaps they do go
 away after a while.

 My current workaround is to mirror the repositories on the buildbot
 server, which is less than ideal but does the job for now. (I tried
 installing buildbot master on the same server than Mercurial, but the
 problem didn't disappear.)
