gearadmin shows wrong queue size

[chris]

steps to reproduce:

1. start gearmand on server1
2. start a gearman worker on server2 that registers a function
3. unplug or remove power from server2
4. run gearadmin --status

the queue length of that function will still show a registered worker even though there are none

If work is sent to gearmand for that job does it correct the queue size? I have not tried this as it requires removing power which I am not easily able to do in testing.

Note that I believe the answer is to configure keepalives.
