[Buildbot-devel] no response from shell command during update

[brett]

Hi:

During the update phase of my builds, my step.SVN source calls rm to
remove the slave's build directory.  The command doesn't return
anything to the master, the command times out, and the build fails.
Here's the stdio log for the update task:

starting svn operation
rm -rf /Users/local/slave/slavedir/build
 in dir /Users/local/slave/slavedir (timeout 1200 secs)
 watching logfiles {}
 argv: ['rm', '-rf', '/Users/local/slave/slavedir/build']
 environment: {'PATH': '/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin'}

command timed out: 1200 seconds without output, killing pid 571

remoteFailed: [Failure instance: Traceback (failure with no frames):
twisted.internet.error.ConnectionLost: Connection to the other side
was lost in a non-clean fashion.
]

The master and slave are Mac OS X 10.4.7 systems.  In different cases,
the rm command did or did not take place on the slave.

Does this look familiar to anyone?  I tried launching twistd with the
--spew parameter but didn't know how to filter the output.
