Bugzilla is driving me crazy. It won't let me attach a file, so I will just 
copy and paste it instead.

Won't this (like the bug 1550 patch) cause the two-phase end to not work 
correctly when no clients are registered for notifications? If there is no 
client listening for notification, wouldn't you want the job manager to save  
state and exit instead of going to the committed state?

This bug is two years old with no response. If it's still an issue, feel free
to reopen it.

The patches for these are committed to 4.2 branch and trunk.
