Bingo - the jobs are running with a walltime of 0 (i.e. not set) and for some 
reason whilst Maui considers this to be infinite if the job is submitted 
whilst it's running when it restarts it sees this as 0 and so kills the 
job. :-(

When the job is submitted - you can set default walltimes on queues, that's
what we do here (primarily for a commercial package where the frontend
GUI doesn't permit the user to specify a walltime, but does let them select a 
queue to run in).
