Comment (by millenniumhand):

 It's Vista with Twisted 11.1.0. We start the slave using buildslave.bat on
 Windows startup.

 Not sure what you mean by "anything special", but in some cases, we
 forcibly kill chrome, firefox and chromedriver because sometimes they stay
 running and then buildbot doesn't recognise that the test run has
 finished.

 As an interim measure, I added a check in runprocess.py so that it doesn't
 try to kill the process if its pid is 'None'. I didn't spend much time
 investigating how the pid could be 'None', though. It seems to be working
 fine with the patch.
