Hello,

I seem to be having some issues with the h_vmem setting and proper allocation.  
I was under the impression that this would function much like the CPU slots, 
and once all of the h_vmem had been allocated, that host would not accept more 
jobs.  This however does not seem to be the case.  I have two queues running on 
the same nodes.

My hosts are defined:

complex_values        slots=48,h_vmem=95G

complex config:

#name               shortcut   type        relop requestable consumable default 
 urgency
#----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
h_vmem              h_vmem     MEMORY      <=    YES         JOB        4G      
 0

queue config, in both queues:

slots                 24
h_vmem                INFINITY

So if I submit one job to A.q, using -l h_vmem=95G, then `qstat -f -u "*" -F 
h_vmem` shows:

        hc:h_vmem=0.000

but if I then submit to the 2nd queue, the h_vmem will go negative and allow 
both jobs to run at the same time:

   4012 0.60500 bt_script. btaylor      r     12/19/2012 11:03:04    24


Is this not supposed to act like the cpu slots?  Any ideas on how I might be 
able to treat available vmem the same as the cpu slots?

Thanks,
Brett
