I have a pretty good guess of the offending jobid, but I am not sure if I should just just manually edit job_queue.log to remove any line where column 2 contains the suspect job id before restarting condor, or if there is additional state to manually update?

I decided to not try and manually remove an entire job without confirmation from an expert, but removing the following line from job_queue.log has allowed condor_schedd version 9.0.7 to run again on an EL8 system,
