Thanks for the suggestion! I had thought of using external workspaces originally, but I want each job to have a unique workspace, but to pick an unused workspace when possible (since creating a new workspace is quite expensive in our case). I didn't relish the idea of having to manage the lists of free and used workspaces myself. I do like the fact there's no stashing required, though. :-)
