It's not lost, though; it's just not displayed anymore. It would be
possible to lengthen the waterfall from 12 hours to a larger period
of time.

You can go back in time yourself, by editing the build number in

http://www.python.org/dev/buildbot/trunk/g4%20osx.4%20trunk/builds/361

The builds from Monday are around 330. The first failure of test_filecmp
seems to have been in build 341, which has Georg (45259) and
Anthony (45261) on the blame list.

The failures might have nothing to with the changes, though: It appears
that some files are still left from earlier tests, and now the setUp
code fails because /tmp/dir already exists...
