[Bug 384926] Re: slurm-llnl cannot execve scripts

[moe jette]

This problem is fixed in Slurm version 2.0.4 or you can apply the patch below.
The problem is caused by the sbatch command reading input from stdin and 
failing to NULL terminate the argv argument to the execve() function. As a 
work-around you can supply a batch script file as an argument to sbatch 
rather than as stdin (e.g. "sbatch my.script"). Here's the patch:
