Which is why when I hit this, I check the commit messages. I also do a cvsup to freefall (normally I just hit one of the mirrors) and see if the problem is in the sources of the moment. If the problem persisits, I either see if it is trivial to fix and/or send mail to the committer. Sometimes, if I'm thinking, I'll see if they are actively logged into freefall and contact them there.... I do realize this isn't an option for everybody, but has worked for me in the past.
