Comment (by mikepurvis):
From our IRC discussion, we determined that the tail invocation was not
working as expected, at least on my Ubuntu 12.04 64-bit system.
It turns out this is a coreutils bug, info here:

-log-rotation
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=548439
A workaround is to modify the tail invocation in
buildbot/scripts/logwatcher.py
{{{
self.p = reactor.spawnProcess(self.pp, "/usr/bin/tail",
("tail", "---disable-inotify", "-f",
"-n", "0", self.logfile),
env=os.environ,
)
}}}
A longer term fix will be to resolve #68.
