Haven a load sensore reporting a string for a double
value leads to a wrong qstat -F printout.

qstat -F shows:
?v:double=0.000000

I'm not completely sure this is a qstat bug. Instead I think this is a execution
or qmaster bug. Why is a string allowed if a double value is expected.
A qsub for example rejects a type mismatch:
 qsub -l double=bla $SGE_ROOT/examples/jobs/sleeper.sh
Unable to run job: wrong type in "double=bla" - double value expected.
