Error fetching data for Windows Debug (Build) build 12867 (http://build.webkit.org/bui
lders/Windows%20Debug%20%28Build%29/builds/12867)

To be clear, the sheriff bot doesn't actually parse the pages, but rather uses xmlrpc.  I expect the buildbot is sometimes just fussy and decides not to reply, but we'll have to test that theory.

http://trac.webkit.org/browser/trunk/WebKitTools/Scripts/webkitpy/common/net/buildbot.py#L308
is the xmlrpc code.

This appears to be:
http://buildbot.net/trac/ticket/753

Error fetching data for Chromium Win Release build 4028 (http://build.webkit.org/builders/Chromium%20Win%20Release/builds/4028): <Fault 8002: "Can't serialize output: cannot marshal None unless allow_none is enabled">

I've tried setting allow_none when creating the ServerProxy but that doesn't change anything.
