Actually, I think that was me being impatient. I was trying to get some information about the float.fromhex test failure on ARM (bugs.python.org/issue8265) and didn't want to wait days. :) > b) I stopped http://www.python.org/dev/buildbot/builders/sparc solaris10 gcc 3.x/builds/558 >   and a pending build vanished (I'm certain that I used 'stop build' and not 'cancel all'). Don't know about this one.

I was misled by the fact that the http://www.python.org/dev/buildbot/builders/XYZ pages often show 'no current builds' even when there is a build going on.

The http://www.python.org/dev/buildbot/buildslaves/XYZ pages appear to give accurate information.
