Hello there,

I have just upgraded to Buildbot-0.7.9. But everytime I start BB I get
this funny warning:

"sun at marvin:~/bbm079-basedir$ ../bin/buildbot restart ../bb-slavedir
now restarting buildbot process..
Following twistd.log until startup finished..
/home/sun/eclipse/bbtermite/buildbot/scripts/logwatcher.py:48:
PotentialZombieWarning: spawnProcess called, but the SIGCHLD handler is
not installed. This probably means you have not yet called reactor.run,
or called reactor.run(installSignalHandler=0). You will probably never
see this process finish, and it may become a zombie process.
  env=os.environ,
"

The whole thing starts and works properly (as far as I can see), but
perhaps someone can explain this warning to me :-)

Regards,
Christian
