[Swift-user] trunk-cobalt block task ended prematurely

I looked at the Cobalt script in the run directory you sent and it was
empty. When I look at the trunk code for the Cobalt provider, I don't
see anything that would generate a script, so I'm not sure what's
happening there. I vaguely remember that somebody wrote a patch for the
Cobalt provider to use script mode, but I'm not sure where that ended
up.
