Yah, about that patch... it didn't work so well.  I found out later that
in some cases Maui allocated 1 CPU to jobs.  I think it happened when
resources weren't available when the job was first submitted; subsequent
attempts to run the job only got 1 CPU.

*shrug*  because I hardly ever get replies when I ask people to test
stuff.
