[Mauiusers] unexpected hostname expansion in HOSTLIST

[Roy Dragseth]

This is because of regexp mandates matches on the shortest substring found.  
Put a word boundary marker, \b, at the end of the nodename and you should be 
fine

In maui cfg

SRCFG[.....]  HOSTLIST=node1\b,node2\b

on the commandline you need another quote

setres node1\\b

or 

setres "node1\b"
