This could definitly be the case. I haven not observed the mis-count go
beyound 20 or so, never into the ridiculous realm of say 80 jobs listed
as running on 14 machines.

I wasn't aware that waiting claims were reported as running. I thought
they had to actually start running on the machine before they took on
the R state in the condor_q output.
