[Buildbot-devel] logging, "empty" builds

[Al Nikolov]

Oh, i see that. It seems suspicious to me that a single factored Build has 
issued log messages both from 'Broker' class and from '-' (what's this?).

Actually i'm looking for explanations of an annoying Buildbot behaviour: when 
i trigger a lot of builders (~300) at the same time, having only 10 master 
locks, time passes and after an hour some builds get their locks and 
activate, then often they silently skip (not even logging) all its steps 
excepting the first one (success) and the last one (alwaysRun). Such builds 
considered to be success excepting that they aren't since they didn't done 
anything.

I found they don't log any 'Broker' thing, only '-'.
