'qstat -a' 'tasks' column width too small

By default, the 'Tasks' column for 'qstat -a' is three characters wide. It's not that uncommon for a modern cluster to consist of at least 1000 cores. In that case, the value is truncated such that only the first three digits are shown for large jobs. If you define "TXT" when you compile, then the column gets set to 5 characters wide. This works great for up to 99,999 cores, but some systems using TORQUE have over 100,000 cores. For the short term, the easiest "fix" would be to make the default 4 characters and TXT 6 characters.
It looks like this has been fixed. Right now, we have '#define DEFTASKSIZE 6'. Closing.
