6h 40m = 360m + 40m = 400m = 24000s - did you forget by accident the colons 
when you defined the limit?

Was it really killed by SGE: is there any hint in the messages file of the 
node, i.e. something like /var/spool/sge/node01/messages about the reason for 
the kill ("loglevel log_info" in the `qconf -mconf`)?.
