Greetings,
We were running slurm 16.05.0 and just upgraded to 16.05.7 during our Fall maintenance cycle along with other changes. Now we are having a very strange problem: * When a regular user requests 6 or fewer nodes, one is able to do so without issue; * When a regular user requests 7 or more nodes, one gets the following error: hostlist.c:1007: hostrange shift: malloc failed Aborted (core dumped) * It doesn't matter which nodes are being requested ... I've verified that I *can* allocate across any node ... just not more than 6; * The root user can request any number of nodes; I should say that I do *not* believe this is due to the upgrade per se. There were other changes made during downtime, including to how groups are named and handled. I expect it to be a permissions problem somewhere, but the logs are not helpful. Indeed, I rolled back to 16.05.0 and still get this error. Any help where to look would be appreciated. Thanks, Paul.
