buildbot buildbot_worker runprocess.py appears to use fstat
ctime/mtime/size polling to query in-progress files.
bunsen only collects final files.

I'm afraid I don't quite understand how this should improve on
anything, even if buildbot-worker were to use inotify instead of fstat
polling. It's just a different pathname for the files.
