All tests pass (albeit some skipped) on our linux server under virtualenv:

  * CentOS release 5.4 (Final)
  * Linux version 2.6.18-92.1.18.el5 (mockbuild at builder16.centos.org) 
(gcc version 4.1.2 20071124 (Red Hat 4.1.2-42)) #1 SMP Wed Nov 12 
09:30:27 EST 2008
  * Python 2.4.3
  * Twisted 9.0.0

.. however, I got this the first time, but never again:

[ERROR]: buildbot.test.test_mergerequests.MergeRequestsTest.testNoMerges

Traceback (most recent call last):
Failure: twisted.internet.error.ProcessTerminated: A process has ended 
with a probable error condition: process ended with exit code 1.

.. and there's one deprecation-warning coming with Twisted 9.0.0:

buildbot.test.test_web
   Ports
     test_webPathname ... 
     [OK]
/vol/home/marcusl/buildbot/work/sandbox/lib/python2.4/site-packages/Twisted-9.0.0-py2.4-linux-i686.egg/twisted/application/internet.py:115: 
DeprecationWarning: The mode parameter of IReactorUNIX.listenUNIX will 
be removed.  Do not pass a value for it.  Set permissions on the 
containing directory before calling IReactorUNIX.listenUNIX, instead.

I'll re-start our masters with the RC and shake them manually in a bit, 
to see if anything comes loose. :)
