Hi Chris,

I guess there=E2=80=99s a small window during which the bzip file handle ha=
sn=E2=80=99t
been closed, and so you could see an empty file.  However, that window
should be extremely small: as soon as the client disconnects or the
build terminates, the daemon closes the log.

So this particular log file remained truncated?

I=E2=80=99ve never experienced it.  Is there a scenario that allows you to
reproduce it?

Thanks,
