unset queue <name of the queue> resources_default.ncpus

I notice that you are referring to 'b_que' while the queue for the suspect 
job was 'heavy'.

Definitely not.

Yes, see above.

use it in their qsub script.

The proper syntax for requesting a single CPU is something like "-l

"-l nodes=1:ppn=4". There is no need to refer to ncpus anywhere.
