[Buildbot-devel] lazy logs a bit too lazy and que'ed requests not being processed

So started again form scratch, buildbot 0.8.9 on both slave and server.
After replacing a few things due to them being deprecated... the master
starts fine.

I didn't even get to see the logs as requests are pending but don't get
picked up. Of course slaves are available.

Cheers,
 Francesco
