Just to clarify -- do you mean the SESSION_SUFFIX (your subject) or
SESSION_PREFIX (your message body)? I assume you mean SESSION_SUFFIX,
if you're talking about the PBS_JOBID. :-)
The answer is -- yes, this is a bug. Neither Brian, Vishal, nor
myself believed it until we looked at the code (I *swear* we tested
this!), but apparently we made a simple ordering mistake in the suffix
resolution -- the batch system ID is examined before
$LAM_MPI_SESSION_SUFFIX. Doh!
It's too late to fix this for 7.0.5, but we'll have it fixed in 7.1.
In the mean time (and even after 7.1 is released), unsetting PBS_JOBID
is a good workaround.
Sorry about that! :-(
