[Swift-devel] trouble resuming

[skenny at uchicago.edu]

i think the main issue is that the rlog only contains
thread id's/mappings for files and not externals (even if
that's all you return). 

e.g. the rlog will contain something like: 

null.!unmapped
null.!unmapped
null.!unmapped
null.!unmapped
null.!unmapped

... 

if externals could be logged, i think the code below would
still need to have loop_query return its external in order for
that to work properly...regardless though, i don't *think*
jobs relying entirely on externals can be resumed in swift,
but maybe mihael will tell me i'm wrong and that there's a
magical solution ;)
