#1027: Zombie Build can't be stopped

 Both master and slave running 0.8.1-p1. I have build 'A' whose last step
 is to trigger build 'B' and 'C', with the 'waitForFinish' set to True.

 Normally when B and C finishes, A will finish and everything starts over.
 But in the current scenario, where B finished normally, I had to stop C by
 clicking the 'stop' button. B stopped as expected. Both B and C's slaves
 show idle as status. But A still has a build which is in the 'trigger'
 stage. Clicking the 'stop' button can't kill it.

 'A' is also a trigger-able build. Now since it gets stuck at this zombie
 stage, no other builds will happen.

 There are many other builds being done by the same master, I'm wondering
 if there's way for me to reset 'A's status w/o restarting the master. I
 restarted the slaves of where 'B' and 'C' are running on. Didn't help.

 It'd be nice if the 'stop' button just worked for 'A'. Thanks!
