The story here is your job landed on a machine that is configured to 
suspend jobs running on that machine when some condition becomes true 
(e.g. activity on the keyboard or increased non-condor load average) and 
then unsuspend or restart the job after X amount of time. This sort of 
policy is common when running jobs on non-dedicated desktop machines.

As a user submitting jobs, if you never want your jobs to suspend, 
you're only recourse is to add a requirement to your submit file to 
avoid machines with such a policy (if there are any such machines in 
your pool).

If you are also the administrator of the machines in your pool, you 
could put
  SUSPEND =  FALSE
into your condor_config file...
