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


I have a set of nodes which has a forced resource testnode assigned to them
via [@testhosts=testnode=1] in complex_values for all.q.  The complex
definition is:

testnode            testnode    BOOL        ==    FORCED      NO         0
0

If I submit a job with "qsub -l testnode ..." it will run on one of these
nodes, but if I add a -soft before the -l testnode is will not and as nodes
in !testhosts that aren't dropped due to being full are rejected because I
didn't request the resource.  For eample I see this in the qstat -j ###
output:

does not request 'forced' resource "testnode" of queue instance all.q@XXX

It seems to me that soft requests should be sufficent or there should be a new
SOFTFORCED value for requestable.  My feeling is that soft requests should
count so I'm filing this as a defect for now.
