single-threaded cores.  A regression caused only 1 socket to be used on
this kind of node instead of all that were available.

If a job allocation returns some invalid contents, the pointer
  to the job structure may be NULL. This change preserves the error
  message and avoids a segv.

Fix case where if the backup slurmdbd has existing connections when it gives up control that the it would be killed.

If the backup had existing connections when giving up control, it would try to

threads. The problem is that SIGKILL doesn't go the thread but the main process
and the backup dbd would be killed.

A configuration of "DefMemPerNode=UNLIMITED" prevented more than
one job from running at a time on a given node, which broke some
