+1, I'd like to know if jobs are leaking.

I have something built into my jobs to be able to identify which job a
node belongs to but this might not be the case for every job.

We could *probably* (just thinking out loud here) add a small hook to
node requests in cicoclient that adds an identifier (i.e, echo
$BUILD_URL > /root/.jenkins)
