That's the best time to fix the leak. Lower your tolerance for leaky builds, and screw the payback period. 1 hour repairing the build when it's a fuzzy kitten will save you weeks when the build grows up to be a ferocious lion.

Interestingly enough, I work with a small development group with too many projects/products and not enough people. At one time this was a RAD shop, and pushing out the old RAD mentality to one of clean, reliable, configured builds has been even harder than actually automating builds and instituting scheduled/continuous builds. I think I will post this article on my cube wall for all to read! I totally agree.
