[torquedev] Bug in post_epilogue()

[Dave Jackson]

Garrick,

  I don't see a fix in trunk.  In fact, the bug was first detected and
reported on a recent trunk based distribution.  Is there a possibility a
fix did not get committed?  Does the fix involve mompost return code
checks and retry from within scan_for_terminated()?
