In rare cases the pickled data from a task contains "</event>" which
causes backtrace. This can be reproduced with something like:
do_unpack_prepend () {
bb.warn("</event>")
}
There are several solutions but the easiest is to catch this exception
and look for the next marker instead as this should be the only way such
an unpickle error could occur.
This fixes rare exceptions seen on the autobuilder.
Also add in other potential exceptions listed in the pickle manual
page so that better debug is obtained should there be an error in
this code path in future. exitcode doesn't need the same handling
since we control what is in that data field and it could never contain
</exitcode>

Bitbake
BitBake is a generic task execution engine that allows shell and Python tasks to be run efficiently and in parallel while working within complex inter-task dependency constraints. One of BitBake's main users, OpenEmbedded, takes this core and builds embedded Linux software stacks using a task-oriented approach.
For information about Bitbake, see the OpenEmbedded website: http://www.openembedded.org/
Bitbake plain documentation can be found under the doc directory or its integrated html version at the Yocto Project website: http://yoctoproject.org/documentation
Contributing
Please refer to http://www.openembedded.org/wiki/How_to_submit_a_patch_to_OpenEmbedded for guidelines on how to submit patches, just note that the latter documentation is intended for OpenEmbedded (and its core) not bitbake patches (bitbake-devel@lists.openembedded.org) but in general main guidelines apply. Once the commit(s) have been created, the way to send the patch is through git-send-email. For example, to send the last commit (HEAD) on current branch, type:
git send-email -M -1 --to bitbake-devel@lists.openembedded.org
