Update/correction: in the meantime

- I had some jobs succeed on kernel 3.8-rc1,
  so the failure is not fully reproducible

- it happened with kernel 3.7.1 too, though much less frequently

- I went back to 3.6.11 where I the failure hasn't occurred so far

BTW the fact that the job spends 20 minutes spooling appears to be
part of the problem; a job which aborted after 20 mins on 3.7.1
completed in 3 mins on 3.6.11.
