Zero or one jobs in the queue - this is my test system.

But, this appears to be a typical case of changing too many parameters
at the same time: I had configured torque-4.1.0 with
--enable-numa-support

I now recompiled without numa support and indeed "qstat <queue>" works
fine. Thus, apparently I have that problem only when I compile with
numa support. Alas, I do not have that much experience with that so
maybe something is wrong with my numa setup. I'll keep poking around.

Cheers,
Martin
