growing every day, so after a fresh start it reaches 300M in a few days</span></font></li>
<li class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>pbs_sched has some bug in the algorithm. Quite often it
picks up some random jobs from lower priority queues despite of a lot of
jobs in higher priority queues.</span></font></li>
<li class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>pbs_server is unstable when some configuration changes
are made. Strangely, but it can crash after a few minutes since a change. Not
all changes are bad. Adding nodes and queues, or adjusting their
parameters is fine. After deleting nodes (with patch! With no patch it
died immediately), for instance, it died within a few hours. If you don’t
touch it, it runs forever.</span></font></li>
