It appears that (as of last night) the build server was stuck in SSL_BIO_read() 
trying to receive data from hammer3.  I killed the hammer3 plague-builder 
process, but the server didn't notice that because it was stuck in that 
function.

Now the fix for this is to use socket timeouts, which essentially make the 
sockets non-blocking, but this leads to other problems (ie, socket.makefile() 
doesn't work well with socket.settimeout(), but we have to use makefile because 
the SSL sockets don't have a dup2()) that need to be dealt with as well.  I hope 
that I can come up with some non-blocking solution here to deal with these 
issues.  The worst thing is that these problems are completely non-reproducible 
and occur at random.

The immediate solution is to restart the build server.
