That's convincing; I've created a "buildbot" keyword. I gave it the
description

  "indicates that tests fail on a buildslave for uncertain reasons"

If that is indeed the intended purpose of this classification, please
keep it in mind when assigning the tag. If I misunderstood the purpose
of the keyword, please provide a better description.

Martin
