[Mauiusers] Too many property requests

[Michel Béland]

Hi,

With Maui 3.3.1, I encountered a segmentation fault after I submitted a 
job requesting this:

qsub 
-lnodes=3:ibleafs01:ibcable30m:c1:ppn=12+3:ibleafs08:ibcable30m:c2:ppn=12+3:ibleafs20:ibcable30m:e1:ppn=12+3:ibleafs25:ibcable30m:e2:ppn=12+3:ibleafs29:ibcable30m:e3:ppn=12+3:ibleafs32:ibcable30m:e4:ppn=12 
  script

Stepping through the code with gdb, I realized that MAX_MREQ_PER_JOB and 
probably MMAX_REQ_PER_JOB, in msched.h, needed to be increased for Maui 
to behave properly, otherwise there is an array overflow. For good 
measure I set both of them to 64, which I believe should work for all 
sensible use cases at our site.

What worries me though is that anybody can craft a job with as many 
property request as needed and make Maui crash. There is no test in Maui 
to prevent the array overflow. I think that this should be fixed...
