Hi Developers,

I have a couple of related observations with a development request and a bug 
fix request.

When trying to update the memory request of a queued job with:
 scontrol update JobId=xxx MinMemoryNode=yyy
I found I could not specify memory using say 128G or 128GB (even though 
scontrol show job uses this form).  Could that please be supported in the 
future?

Instead I tried to be smart and ran:
 scontrol update JobId=xxx MinMemoryNode=$(( 128 * 1024 * 1024 ))
and slurm crashed with no info logged.

I understand I had the units wrong and requested 128TB... and using $(( 128 * 
1024 )) works as I wanted and requests 128GB, however slurm crashing in 
response to such a request is clearly a bug to be fixed.

We are running: slurm 14.03.0

Regards,

Gareth
