Plague isn't moving the status beyond prepping (even though in reality 
the build does move on from there and completes).  There is a check in 
plague to make sure that mock never exits during the prep status, if it 
does, regardless of how mock's exit code, then its a failed build.  I've 
been adding some code here and there though I've not had much success.  
I'm still working on it but since it's hard to duplicate and my 
familiarity with plague isn't great it's taken longer then I'd hoped, 
please bare with me and continue to report these successful-failed builds.
