[torqueusers] Torque not killing job exceeding memory requested

[Laurence Dawson]

It's running on x86 linux with a 2.4 kernel,

This is an example job

[root at vmpsched root]# qstat -f 1392706 | grep mem
resources_used.mem = 2040216kb
resources_used.vmem = 2654428kb
Resource_List.mem = 1500mb

[root at vmpsched root]# diagnose -j 1392706
JobID State Proc WCLimit User Opsys Class Features

1392706 Running 1 2:07:00:00 yiy1 - all -
WARNING: job '1392706' utilizes more memory than dedicated (1992 > 1500)

As recommended by Seb, a couple of minutes ago I enabled the 
RESOURCELIMITPOLICY MEM:ALWAYS:CANCEL,

but so far it is still running...
