TypeError: __init__() takes exactly 2 arguments (3 given)

It looks like somehow msg is a 2-tuple here.  What exception could have
been caught?

This may happen every time on the MIPS buildbot.  Here is a recent run.

My guess is that there is some exception happening in C code and that
propagates back up to the error we see.  I could never find the root
cause when I tried to trace I down though.

Can you log in to the box and reproduce it manually?

This started happening consistently on my box and I was able to
reproduce it.  Revision 60233 should fix this problem.  I forwarded the
checkin to Greg.  Hopefully he can comment if there is a problem.  (Also
cc'd him on this bug report that I'm now closing.)
