> When performing the 'exec' command via broctl, if there are dead or otherwise offline hosts, broctl (python) will crash with a 'TypeError'.  Relaunching broctl and trying again sometimes works, but many times it will continue to crash if the host remains down.  See below:
> broctl exec killall \-9 bro
> Connection timed out during banner exchange
> warning: connection to bro3 broke
> Traceback (most recent call last):
> bq. File "/home/bro/bin/broctl", line 726, in <module>
>     loop.onecmd(line)
> bq. File "/usr/local/lib/python2.5/cmd.py", line 219, in onecmd
>     return func(arg)
> bq. File "/home/bro/bin/broctl", line 561, in do_exec
>     control.executeCmd(Config.nodes(), args)
> bq. File "/bro/lib/broctl/BroControl/control.py", line 1056, in executeCmd
>     util.output("[%s] %s\n> %s" % (node.host, (success and " " or "error"), "\n> ".join(output)))
> TypeError
