OK, I've been thinking over stonith and fencing.  And I can see that if all
services are being run by heartbeat, they won't get reactivated after a stonith
reset.

So, the question becomes does a stonith RESET *have* to be an SNMP RESET?  I'll
have to admit that ideally, yes.  So I'll go modify the code.
