[Buildbot-devel] test failure with 0.7.8, Python 2.5 and Twisted 2.1.0 on OS X 10.4

[Charles Lepple]

I was just updating the Fink package for Buildbot, and I got the
following test failure. Any ideas? Should I be concerned?

 * buildbot-0.7.8
 * python25 installed via Fink
 * Twisted 2.1.0 installed via Fink
 * with buildbot-0.7.7 still on the Python library path (should this
be an issue?)

$ PYTHONPATH=. trial buildbot.test
[...]
