IRC we fixed rather important bugs in the imap resource, from such asserts.

This is just "one of those things" that are better caught early than late... 
you get other even weirder bugs if you don't respect the resourcebase 
contract.

My suggestion for a long-term solution to this would be that ResourceBase 
should rather call factory methods that return jobs (created by the resource, 
with its own stuff added in a subclass), rather than this procedural "start 
this", "ok I'm done". Then we could track the lifetime of these jobs, and have 
a single list of jobs (rather than the resourcebase having some notion of the 
current job, and the resource having another notion of the current job).

(s/job/task/g if it makes this easier to understand -- currently resources 
tend to create "tasks" internally for this)
