Well trunk bjam seems to work okay on darwin (Last Changed Rev: 79321). i won't be able to login and look at other testers until later today.

Look at both the trunk and release testing summaries. Every Sandia tester on these pages runs every night (Cray runs every other or third night). Any Sandia tester that doesn't post updated results every 24 hours is having some problem. Based on last nights results, every Sanida trunk Linux tester is broken except for Vacpp and Clang. On the release branch most all Sandia testers were broken.

Perhaps smaller commits where you wait for tests to cycle before pushing more changes would work better?
