Build system seems to be doing fine ATM...  Note that with some recent
(week or two ago) changes, the "no Job ID was provided" message doesn't
necessarily indicate that the buildsys is hung.

There is a case where the code waits up to 10s to get a reply from the
builders before giving up on that attempt.  During that 10s however, you
could have just enqueued a job and be waiting for the ID to return to
you.  The plague-client code only waits 3 or 4 seconds before returning
the "no Job ID" message.
