Yes, there is a reason for complaining. The discrepancy between
STATUS JNAME and STATUS SUBSY can be used as evidence that the guy
has more than one job by that name. Additionally, and most importantly,
STATUS JNAME is a unique ID for the job, while STATUS SUBSY is not
defined to be. I care less if STATUS SUBSY returns something 6 chars,
though I do think it's obnoxious and less useful, but I resent muchly
having STATUS JNAME return something that can't be put in a file for some
emacs to valret "cont <jname>" and expect to win. If you have a MACLISP0
and MACLISP and you valret "cont MACLIS", what does it mean? -kmp
