Hello,

I have heard of the temporary directory issue before, but we run a very small 
number of MPI applications and none of them have this problem.

I would move away from our current multi-queue setup if there was a viable 
alternative that meets our needs.  In particular we need to limit available 
resources based on run time while still allowing very short jobs (including MPI 
jobs) to utilize all of the available resources.  If there are other (better 
supported) ways to achieve these goals then I would appreciate some pointers.

Thanks,
Brendan

I'd strongly recommend avoiding that.  Another reason is possible
trouble due to the temporary directory name being derived from the queue
name.  (I changed that but had some odd failures when I introduced it,
so it's not in the current version, and I haven't had a chance to go
back and figure out why.)
