                Subject:        Incorrect HPJOBCOUNT

                Has anyone seen this before? Number of jobs executing = n
but the value of
                HPJOBCOUNT is n+1.
                It happened within the last 36 hours; however, there were no
system
                anomalies during that period.
                This affects the operation of JLIMIT, effectively reducing
it by one.

                This is a 959/400 on MPE/iX 5.5 PP5 plus some reactive
patches. It has been
                a fairly stable
                environment for the last 9 months. I do not recall ever
seeing this before
                and a quick search of the
                ESC and a call to the Response Center came up empty.

                Undoubtedly a reboot will fix the problem. Of course I am
loath to do that
                so am applying a Band-Aid
                to our procedures for the time being. And, there is probably
no safe way to
                dynamically fix
                HPJOBCOUNT. I was just curious if anyone else has seen this.
