------------------------


DESCRIPTION:
When a large job array are submitted in a way that it's array jobs can't be started
this has no consequences for still pending array jobs of the same job array. As
a result
a submission command such as

  qsub -M andreas.haas@sun.com -m a -o /does/not/exit -t 1-10000 sleeper.sh

triggers delivery of 10000 error mails be sent to the submitter!

SUGGETED FIX:
Once the first array job of a job array failed in a way that the job error is
set, any other not yet dispatched array job must be set in error state as well.
