I also made seff work on a non-standard perl install.

I would had loved to do this in multiple commits, but it wasn't that possible.

moment the dbd is assigning a db_index.

Bug 3512

This is a definite culprit of creating runaway jobs.

because the dbd is setting a db_index.

in the middle of setting db_indexes.

multifactor.  Almost impossible to make happen, but still a bug.

The stepd->protocol_version field is not set at this point,
if not handled here then the following call to stepd_get_uid
will fail as a protocol_version of zero is rejected.

This appeared to work in 16.05 and older as the stepd_get_uid()
API call used to ignore the invalid protocol_version and
return the correct result anyways, but that was fixed in c177ff95.

Bug .

capmc_resume (Cray resume node script) - Do not disable changing a node's
    active features if SyscfgPath is configured in the knl.conf file.
bug 3533

If a job is cancelled by the user while it's allocated nodes are being
    reconfigured (i.e. the capmc_resume program is rebooting nodes for the job)
    and the node reconfiguration fails (i.e. the reboot fails), then don't
    requeue the job but leave it in a cancelled state. Note the JOB_RECONFIG_FAIL
    state flag is currently only used by capmc_resume, but could be used for
    other programs responsible for node reboots.
