Comment 3 for bug 1217781

Hi I'm using juju 1.16.2 and machines that never came up are still do not get terminated. They stay in the 'dying' state forever (over night at least).

$ juju -v bootstrap
$ juju status
environment: maas
machines:
"0":
agent-state: started
agent-version: 1.16.2
dns-name: node1001.cloud
instance-id: /MAAS/api/1.0/nodes/node-70cc4f36-3730-11e3-a5f3-525400c5247e/
series: precise
services: {}
$ juju deploy ubuntu

# now power off the machine that was allocated at some point before the machine agent comes up.

$ juju destroy-service ubuntu
$ juju terminate-machine 1
$ juju status
environment: maas
machines:
"0":
agent-state: started
agent-version: 1.16.2
