Apparently some of these buildbots belong to you. Why don't you step up and investigate? The fact that I'm running some buildbots doesn't mean I have to fix the problems that they reveal, I think. You certainly don't have to. But please don't ask others to do it for you, especially if the failure can't be reproduced under anything else than OS X, and if no useful diagnosis is available.

If OS X is a supported and important platform for Python then fixing all problems that it reveals (or being willing to) should definitely not be a pre-requisite of providing a buildbot (which is already a service to the Python developer community). Fixing bugs / failures revealed by Bill's buildbot is not fixing them "for Bill" it is fixing them for Python.

All the best,

Michael
