+#+TYP_TODO: MAYBE TODO DONE
+* TODO error message becomes a scheduling command
+
+Consider this code:
+  
+#+begin_src scheme
+(use-modules (drmaa v1 low))
+(define (test)
+  (let ((t (allocate-job-template!)))
+    (set-attribute! t (DRMAA 'REMOTE_COMMAND) "/bin/ls")
+    (set-attribute! t (DRMAA 'JS_STATE)
+                    (DRMAA 'SUBMISSION_STATE_ACTIVE))
+    (set-attribute! t (DRMAA 'WD)
+                    "/home/rwurmus/")
+
+    ;; This is wrong and leads to an error
+    (set-attribute! t (DRMAA 'NATIVE_SPECIFICATION)
+                    "-b n -V -q all.q -w n -A rwurmus")
+    (run-bulk-jobs t 1)))
+
+(init-session!)
+(test)
+(exit-session!)
+#+end_src
+
+Since there is no =rwurmus= accounting group, the template fails with an error message.  Part of this error message is interpreted as a command:
+
+#+begin_example
+scheme@(guile-user)> (test)
+WARNING - Accounting to 'rwurmus' was denied, thus your job was assigned into your default department 'akalin
+WARNING - Accounting to 'rwurmus' was denied, thus your job was assigned into your default department 'akalin
+ice-9/boot-9.scm:1669:16: In procedure raise-exception:
+ERROR:
+  1. &message: "master got unknown command from JSV: \"'.\" (17)"
+
+Entering a new prompt.  Type `,bt' for a backtrace or `,q' to continue.
+scheme@(guile-user) [1]> ,bt
+In ice-9/boot-9.scm:
+  1669:16  0 (raise-exception _ #:continuable? _)
+#+end_example
+
+That’s the trailing “'.” of the error message that somehow slips by and is interpreted as a command.  Is some buffer too small?
