I don't have an answer in mind asking these questions, I'm just trying
to tease out a few details that will hopefully spark a moment of
brilliance in someone's mind.
First, what version of HTCondor are you running?
Is the value of "some" consistent (either in raw terms or as a
percentage) across multiple tests?
I know you said that you checked with `condor_q -const <your
expression>`. Was that with your real expression, your test expression
or both?
Is it possible that some of your test jobs define `periodic_hold` in
the submit file? A job's periodic_hold expression takes precedence
over SYSTEM_PERIODIC_HOLD.
Thanks,
BC
