[Python-Dev] Two buildbot slaves wedged

svn got confused trying to incorporate updates to the email pkg. Slaves

sparc solaris10 gcc trunk and x86 gentoo trunk

got stuck in their trunk "updating" steps for 7 hours, presumably as a result.

I killed those builds, and tried to start new builds on those slaves. There was no effect apart from their "pending" count rising from 6 to 7. They respond to pings, but won't start another build.

I'm not sure how they get into such a state (but saw it at Zope Corp at times too). It's possible that their buildbot processes need to be restarted, and/or that the master process needs to be restarted.
