I logged in to the machine an the buildbot is running.  I think what
happens is that sometimes the master loses track of the slaves.  The
fix requires restarting the master, but I didn't want to do that last
night while there were still builds going on.  I'll try to find a
quiet time tonight and restart the master.  I expect that will fix the
problem.
