I'm very sorry for this, but after a few identical runs that worked, the problem has occurred again.  The jobid this time is 994493.

I am at a loss as to what is causing the issue, but given that it's occurred twice it can't be a coincidence, so I will stop running these jobs until I can diagnose and address it.  Again, I sincerely apologize for the waste of computing resources.

Thank you,

Subject: Problem with a redhawk job not terminating

I have a job on the redhawk cluster (jobid 993111) that was supposed to terminate some time ago, as it exceeded its walltime.  I actually tried to delete the job using qdel about 6 hours into its execution (it should have finished within an hour, and it hasn't done this in the 50+ times I have run it in the past) but the job refused to be deleted.  Right now it appears that the PBS system is trying to stop it and it isn't responding, so I am getting an email every 30 seconds or so telling me that the job was stopped, and the job is staying in the system.

Thanks,
