Arun C Murthy commented on MAPREDUCE-430:
-----------------------------------------

I'm thinking we can do:

{noformat}
try {
  // existing stuff
} catch (FSError e) {
 // ...
} catch (Throwable t) {
 umblical.fatalError();
}
{noformat}

Thus we can allow the Child to exit if it can't do umbilical.fatalError(). I'm 
thinking that we'll just do a best-effort to call {umbilical.fatalError}, I 
don't think the jvm will get 'stuck' there. Thoughts?
