That error implies that the machine it's running on is having issues with DNS lookups. I can't tell from the context what it's trying to connect to. If this is specific to a single machine then it may just need kicked. If it's happening more widely then it's possible whatever server it's trying to access is down.

The script is failing when opening a url stored by attachment_url: presumably that variable is set to https://bug-130826-attachments.webkit.org/attachment.cgi?id=229028. Lucas and I will keep our eyes open for more of these errors.
