It looks like from the man page of sge_types that only k, K, m, M, g and G
are accepted. Since we are just starting to see TB of RAM as a realistic
possibility in systems, perhaps a feature request should be the inclusion
of t and T in future releases?

BTW, the lower case values are based on multiples of 1000 bytes whereas the
upper case value is 1024 bytes.
