[Buildbot-devel] gitpoller: repo poll failed: [Failure instance: Traceback: <type 'exceptions.IOError'>: [Errno 4] Interrupted system call

[Matisse Enzer]

I am frequently( but not always) seeing an "Interrupted system call" error when gitpoller does a fetch.

So gitpoller executes a fetch at around line 190:
  args = ['fetch', self.repourl, self.branch]

# args are: ['fetch', 'ssh://puffball@git.mycompany.com/path/to/ProjectA', 'master']

then I often (but not always) see the following error:

Any suggestions folks?
