Thinking that maybe we were just running near the edge on resource 
limits, I resized the droplet from 2GB to 4GB RAM.  When buildbot 
starts, the python process uses about 80MB.  But it seems to grow fairly 
rapidly.  Here is the output from top after a few hours:

   PID USER      PR  NI    VIRT    RES    SHR S  %CPU  %MEM     TIME+ 
COMMAND
   931 buildbot  20   0 3141096   3.0g   9780 R 103.0  76.4 111:40.02 
python3

So it seems something is wrong there.  I don't think the buildbot server 
process should need that much memory and I don't recall this being a 
problem previously.

I updated to a newer version.   We were using 2.7.0-1, now we have 
2.8.2-3.  I'll watch and see if that improves things.
