+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #884028 +++

I'm still seeing the issue originally reported in bug 884028, but now with a different stack!

As with before this is with large -j values (64) on a distcc network, so output is scrolling very rapidly. Python is v2.7.5.
Can someone experiencing this try mucking around with unbuffered stdout and reporting the experience?

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/107705/python-output-buffering

e.g. PYTHONUNBUFFERED=1 python mach build
Here is an alternate fix. If this works, I'd prefer it over unbuffered
output.

Please test and report back.

I managed to do a full build with this patch without hitting any IOErrors, though the failure rate wasn't 100% earlier. I'll keep this applied and let you know if the error returns.
So far as I can tell (And the bug was killing well over half of my build attempted unless I used the environment var to disable the footer) this has fixed the problem.
Yay!

This feels like it wants to be a context manager, but I guess logging.Handler doesn't implement that, so this is in-line with the standard library. Weird.

Hate to be a party pooper, but as of today this patch has started causing this to occur:

Every time I build with Mach.... Looks like the patch worked yesterday but today has decided to become strange...
Ah-Ha! The above problem exists exclusively when you run Mach with MACH_NO_TERMINAL_FOOTER set after applying the patch. Running Mach without this environment variable after the patch exhibits neither this nor the original problem.

Was fixed in bug 889963.
Unfortunately I just hit this error with the exact same stack as comment 0 on the current m-c :(

I haven't hit this at all in a few months of -j104 builds, I'll re-open if I can repro reliably
