I saw an error message complaining about a twistd.pid file containing non-numeric characters. When I cat'd the file, it was an empty file. Before we start buildbot for the first time after boot, lets make sure that we remove this file.
The buildbot-tac.py or /etc/init.d/buildbot.tac could probably do this. I see "Windows 7" on the platform - is the bug specific to the platform, or is this general?

I'm blocking this on the slave-allocation work. When that's in place, it will be easy enough to add a --startup flag to runslave.py, which startup scripts can use to indicate "this box just started, so be confident any pid file is stale".

I just saw Feb 9 15:36:41 moz2-darwin10-slave03 org.mozilla.build.buildslave[209]: Removing stale pidfile /Users/cltbld/twistd.pid so I suspect that as long as the pidfile is well-formed, this happens automatically. I've not seen a repeat of what jhford describes in comment #0.
