grpsubmit exceeded

It seems that users can get around GrpSubmit limits due to job arrays.  I attached a file showing a failed attempt to exceed the job limit first without job arrays then a successful attempt with job arrays.  We're on 2.6.4 8fba61066b30a4874632c59b770b9ed46fb5adf1.  We have seen other accounts do this as well, not just staff.

I have been able to reproduce this problem. There are use cases that definitely fail.
Comment 2 Moe Jette 2014-02-07 04:18:51 MST 
Fixed with one line change. This will be in version 2.6.6 when released, probably within a day or two. The commit with the fix is shown below. Append ".patch" to the URL to generate a patch file.

Thanks for the quick fix.  We'll upgrade when 2.6.6 is released.
