   Actually, you might try to replicate from the command line;
   try running your python script with the same command you're
   telling rush to run. (Just set any RUSH environment variables
   the script depends on, like RUSH_FRAME or RUSH_JOBID).

   Then, while it's rendering, hit ^C to kill it,
   then check to see if somehow the render is still running.

   So for instance, if you're telling rush to run:

	python /your/script/foo.py -render -arg1 -arg2 -arg3

   ..then to test from the command line, use e.g.

	( export RUSH_FRAME=1; export RUSH_JOBID=yourjobid.123; python /your/script/foo.py -render -arg1 -arg2 -arg3 )

    ..before hitting ^C.
