Thanks for this. I have been banging up against errors caused by the ReduceTasks failing because of waits for about a week now. This fixes it.

The ReduceTaskRunner should report progress even if the number of ouput

tasktracker that goes down, all the reduce tasks waiting for these mapoutputs 
would fail.
