Try_Jobdir fails ungracefully when its maildir is missing.

Bug Description

Binary package hint: buildbot

buildbot.changes.maildir.Maildir.start raises a string exception if its maildir does not exist. String exceptions in python 2.5 are so bizzare that the twistd logger seems to stop logging entirely when it gets one, turning a minor configuration problem in to a very mysterious crash.

This is fixed in upstream HEAD, but a one-line patch turning that string exception into a RuntimeError or something would likely be sufficient.
