Yes <https://arc.liv.ac.uk/trac/SGE/ticket/1280>.  I have a suspicion
that restarting the qmaster has helped sometimes, but I'm not sure about
that.  I'd be interested if anyone has any more information/suggestions.

One possible problem is exclusive access, but that's not the case here
<https://arc.liv.ac.uk/trac/SGE/ticket/767>.

Perhaps Mark Dixon will chime in with his scripts for processing the
schedule file to show the reservations in effect.
