At first glance it seems like a subprogram called by Elbe is printing
some gibberish.  This could probably be fixed by encoding with base64
the message in daemons/soap/esoap:get_project_busy()

Can you provide the log of your build?  You should have a log.txt file
in the build for your project.  If you can scp it to your host and send
it to me that would help.
