The number of allocated jobs is always kept as a multiple of four, and the first check in considering whether the job number is valid is "if it's greater than or equal to the number of allocated job, it's invalid". That doesn't look right. That would only be right if jobs were zero-based, but they aren't. If it's exactly equal to the number of available jobs, it can still be valid. It works when adding /bin/true, because four more more jobs end up allocated internally. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
