DESCRIPTION:
The refered user list mail thread indicates job
start errors can cause inconsistencies with slot
debitation in case qmaster runs out of spool disk
space.

WORKAROUND:
Once that inconsitency occured only restarting
qmaster/scheduler will help to fix slot debitation.
In order to actually prevent that problem to
occure one must ensure qmaster always has
sufficient space available for spooling. The
'max_jobs' setting in sge_conf(5) might help
to prevent qmaster runs out of spool disk space
as a result of too many jobs be submitted to a
cluster.
