Hello there!  I do appreciate your assistance!

When running against a group of hosts, in parallel mode, if a host is encountered that has an expired password, fabric does not abort..

[dev06 Executing task 'inventory'
[dev06] sudo: rm /tmp/inventory /tmp/inventory.txt 2>/dev/null || :
[dev05] sudo: rm /tmp/inventory /tmp/inventory.txt 2>/dev/null || :
[dev06] out: WARNING: Your password has expired.
[dev06]: You must change your password now and login again!
[dev06 out: Changing password for user beeworker
[dev06] out: Changing password for beeworker.
[dev05] out: sudo password:
[dev05] out:
[dev05] put: inventory -> /tmp/inventory
[dev05] sudo: /tmp/inventory -o /tmp/inventory.txt && rm -f /tmp/inventory &

In this case, it never aborts on dev06 even though a prompt is encountered. 

I have these variables set in my fabfile

env.skip_bad_hosts = True
env.abort_on_prompts = True

So, I am not sure what I am doing wrong here.  Thanks in advance!  I really need to get this working as we depend heavily on Fabric for automation!

You're not posting an actual example of what you're talking about,
which makes it quite hard to actually offer advice :) The feature is
working for most folks as far as I've seen.

Note that the feature only works for actual prompts Fabric itself
handles: sudo and login prompts. Other interactive prompts will still
cause Fabric to "hang" waiting for a user, because we cannot reliably
detect them.
