Build
Firefox
- Win32 build had a network interruption that dropped the job - Aki used the rebuild button
- Previous job hadn't rebooted and something was locking a file, so a rm failed early in the compile:
rm: cannot lstat `./dist/bin/components': Permission denied
- nthomas manually clobbered build dir and rebooted slave, then used 'rebuild button'
Fennec

Win32 repack 2/6 failed - a network interruption. Rebuild used, successful that time
XULRunner
Source
Failed because 20 mins wasn't enough time to create the bundle on a VM. Manual clobber and rebuild. Failed again. Third time was the charm.
