[Buildbot-devel] fun race condition in old web front end for buildbot

[Dustin J. Mitchell]

Not quite a race condition, but a bug nonetheless.  It looks like this
occurs when the force scheduler name doesn't correspond to any
configured scheduler.

Any idea why that might have been the case when the failure occurred
and not later?
