I don't think it's OSX specific.  My FreeBSD slaves (both 6.4 and 7.2)
have been getting the same error.

It seems related to the sticky bit on /tmp and the fact that the
account running the build slave is in the wheel(0) group, so
directories/files created beneath /tmp get a group of 0 rather than
the user's gid.  That affects the temporary files in the distutils
test, which is expecting a default of os.getgid().
