Two machines host1 and host2 are setup. I have a multijob description 
which inturn has 2 jobs. The job description specifies the multijob to be 
submitted on host1, the first subjob on host2 and second subjob on host1. 
     Now I start the container only on host1 and submit the multijob from 
host2. As expected, the multijob submission fails due to a connection refused 
exception to host2. 
     But when I use the EPR to probe the job status, it tells me "Current job 
state: Failed", which means the job resource is not destroyed despite the 
failure. It looks OK that the resource has to live(till its termination time) 
to tell the job's tale.
     Now that the job story is learnt, I decide to kill the resource. The kill 
fails!! "globusrun-ws: Unable to destroy job: Error destroying job". 
      Tries to probe the status and it says "Current job state: Failed" 
followed by the rest of the description, which means the resource is still not 
destroyed.

I am including the console output and the multijob description used, to help 
debug.

The multijob description text is as follows
