Maybe, but why should the scheduler/resource manager care (unless the 
user asked it to limit output, like limiting core files)?  There 
should be no temp files, and the stdio should go directly to the 
user's file space.  If they generate too much, that's their problem, 
in the same way that if they generate too much data, that's their 
problem.  If we let users fill the entire filesystem with file 
writes, we should let them fill the data space with stdio...
