broctl 'exec' crashes with dead hosts

[solomon]

When performing the 'exec' command via broctl, if there are dead or otherwise offline hosts, broctl (python) will crash with a 'TypeError?'. Relaunching broctl and trying again sometimes works, but many times it will continue to crash if the host remains down. See below:

broctl exec killall -9 bro
Connection timed out during banner exchange
warning: connection to bro3 broke

Traceback (most recent call last):
