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.
