Hello, the following standing reservation was intended to provide quick
turnround for short jobs during the working week.
It successfully reserves three 2-proc nodes, according to showres -n.
But it has allowed 2 jobs with 7-day walltime to start on Friday at 19:00
on one of those reserved nodes, so that's unavailable for all this week.
I had expected maui to know that it could 'backfill' till Monday 9am
but not beyond. Is there anything wrong or missing with the config?
Also, on restarting maui, even with a new SR name for this reservation,
maui re-allocated the reservation to the same 3 nodes, including the one
with the 2 7-day jobs running!

(maui version is maui-3.2.6p14, torque is torque-2.0.0p5).
Thanks for any comments, Lawrence Lowe.
