> I'm currently looking at a task that, as far as the task tracker is 
> concerned, is dead.  Like long long long ago dead.  It was a failed task that 
> ran out of heap.  Rather than just kill it, I thought I would see what it was 
> doing, since it was clearly using system resources.  It would appear the 
> system is trying to log but failing.  I'm guessing we're missing an error 
> condition and not doing the appropriate thing. See the comments for more.
