2010-09-06 19:24:55+0000 [-] The new config file is unusable, so I'll ignore it.
2010-09-06 19:24:55+0000 [-] I will keep using the previous config file instead.

The buildmaster appears to have encountered an error in the master.cfg config
file during startup. It is probably running with an empty configuration right
now. Please inspect and fix master.cfg, then restart the buildmaster.
