My code is robust in the failure of any node, except for the first.  I
have encountered many clusters with relatively unreliable nodes. With
the current behavior we avoid using torque/pbs on such clusters.

I am not the first to request this feature, as attested by the existence
of the patch. A google search on fatal_job_poll_failure shows that a
patched version of torque has been deployed in multiple locations.

thanks--
