Comment 10 Fabrice Bellet 2013-04-16 08:51:54 UTC
Hi!

I reopen this bug, as it seems that this fix causes a side effect on torque-2.5.7-9.el6, where the pbs_server randomly cannot bind to a local port two times consecutively, due to the tcp-retry-count value, and consequently gives up to connect to the mom port on the exec_host node. I assume that selecting two random local ports in the reserved range  have a statistical non-nul risk of being both busy, so maybe the tcp-retry-count value could be increased a bit to mitigate this case occurence ? 

The visible consequence is that some jobs stay forever in queue, in queued state, while having an exec_host selected.

Here is the relevant debug information from the log file:
