Then it won't see the former jobs. After the long running job ended, it needs to be removed from the qmaster list of jobs by `qdel -f 1234`.

Kevin,

And also make sure that your pick a new GID range - if you have the
same GID range then new jobs may eventually conflict with the extra
GID that the old job is using.
