Yeah, especially impressive bits of code like
while ((n->isdummy) && (n!=NULL)) n = n->right;
Bletch. Somebody ought to sneak in during the night and make the
"-z" flag the default in the linker, so that the
null-pointer-dereferencing bugs get caught *before* this stuff gets
shipped....
Also, I'd be curious to see how it stacks up against other batch
systems, like MDQS.

Umm, err, I don't see any code to implement that in the S5R3 "cron",
nor in the S5R2 "cron". There's a #define for USRF, but it's not
used anywhere.
