Well, having a login might help me diagnose these problems, but
long-term I'd just like a buildslave connected to
buildbot.net/metabuildbot.

I suspect there's some assumption that Buildbot or Twisted is making
about the underlying operating system that's not satisfied in NetBSD
-- most of these errors are basically "things didn't happen in the
order I expected with interactions between multiple processes".  This
isn't the fork/vfork distinction (which process runs first), but might
have something to do with handling of inherited file descriptors or
perhaps pty's.  Does this remind you of any common
NetBSD-compatibility problems?
