Hi Matt,

	Thanks for your reply.

	Hmmm. So you're saying that the job will be suspended, but it
will continue to occupy a slot?

	I'll take a look at multiple slots and see what I can do.  Is
there no other way to ask condor to overcommit a processor (i.e.,
have two jobs -- in my case, one suspended -- assigned to the same 
processor)?

						Thanks,
