I don't think I follow the sequence of events here. Is it as follows?

--> Slave launches an executor
--> Before the executor registers with the slave, the framework asks to kill a 
task (do you know why?)
--> When the executor registers it doesn't get any task from the slave
--> The executor is running without any task.

I don't understand what do you mean by "task continuing to run indefinitely". 
Do you mean "the executor runs indefinitely"? If its the latter, it seems the 
right semantics for a general purpose executor. Am I missing something?
