Change history
---------------
11-OCT-2007 (ident V6.3-x14)
  Fixed the MAX_CONNS and MAX_AGE parameters so that they now work. Note that
  MAX_CONNS only applies to the tcp_smtp_client master job. Also, the System
  Manager's Guide for MAX_AGE incorrectly says that the default value is 5
  minutes: it is in fact 30 minutes. Requires libpmdf.so and tcp_smtp_client
  version V6.3-x14. (D/E 10559)

11-OCT-2007 (ident V6.3-x14)
  Fixed some internal queue corruptions that could cause the job controller to
  crash, or hang, or not process messages correctly. (D/E 10540)

11-OCT-2007 (ident V6.3-x14)
  Fixed a problem with "pmdf cache -view" and QM not listing all messages that
  the job controller knew about. (D/E 10576)

11-OCT-2007 (ident V6.3-x14)
  The job controller now sorts messages that it reads from disk during start up
  (i.e. messages that were in the /pmdf/queue directories), based on the
  original submission time. (D/E 10587)

1-JUN-2007 (ident V6.3-x11)
  Made changes to the internal operation of the job controller to improve
  performance.

1-JUN-2007 (ident V6.3-x11)
  Fixed a problem with an internal job controller queue getting corrupted,
  causing crashes and hangs. (D/E 10432)

1-JUN-2007 (ident V6.3-x11)
  Modified the job controller to honor the 'queue' channel keyword as specified
  in pmdf.cnf, in addition to the QUEUE option in the job_controller.cnf file.
  (D/E 10364)
