Two reasons:
1. The stdlist does not indicate when the job was submitted, only when it
logged on and off.
2. I don't want to have to shuffle through a stack of stdlists for a
particular job. With this flat and CIRcular (?!) file, I can scan through it
to see when a job was submitted, by whom, and when it logged on and off.
