Case in point - a 128 CPU job (submitted on 17th) said on the 18th it would start in 2 days but a week later it is still Idle and now says it won't start for almost 6 days. :-(

[root at tango-m jobs]# showstart -e all 78607
job 78607 requires 128 procs for 20:00:00

Estimated Rsv based start in              5:19:28:11 on Thu Jan 31 04:58:52
Estimated Rsv based completion in         6:15:28:11 on Fri Feb  1 00:58:52

Estimated Priority based start in         5:19:28:11 on Thu Jan 31 04:58:52
Estimated Priority based completion in    6:15:28:11 on Fri Feb  1 00:58:52

Estimated Historical based start in       5:19:28:11 on Thu Jan 31 04:58:52
Estimated Historical based completion in  6:15:28:11 on Fri Feb  1 00:58:52
