Just an FYI for everyone out there:

I ran into a very odd problem this morning.   I got a call from one of the users
that no jobs could run.   Okay, so I checked the obvious things, limits,
jobfence, OPENQ @, SHOWDEV 6, STREAMS 10.  None of this worked and I am
beginning to wonder.   I called the HPRC and after an extensive amount of
investigation HP determined that we had too many spool files.  Yes, too many
spool files.   We had just under 50,000 spool files.  Don't ask!  We just do!
Okay?  Sorry about that rant.  Anyway, once I deleted a couple of thousand spool
files all seemed to work okay.  Yes, even HP was surprised by the cause.

Hopefully this bit of information will help in case anyone else runs into this
problem.
