In looking over Dan's fix to the memory leak for splitslotname and splitusername classad functions (thanks Dan!!), I noticed that the documentation for these functions in the Condor Manual is misleading/confusing.
The problem is these functions, along with quantize() make use of "new" ClassAd lists. However, the Condor Manual does not document new classad language constructs such as lists or nested ads. Further adding to the confusion: 1. there are no examples in the manual how to even reference a member of a new classad list. 2. in section 4 "Predefined functions", the function listings do not distinguish between a "string list" (a string that contains a list) and a new classad "list of strings". For instance, the Manual claims splitUserName() returns a "String list" and also claims stringListSum() takes a parameter "String list".
