segfault when max number of jobs reached

[unode]

This still requires confirmation and a proper backtrace but when submitting over 10.000 jobs on a cluster with a 10.000 limit a segfault would be seen.

[unode]

This can be triggered by using the same approach described in #5 and:

ids = s.runBulkJobs(jt, beginIndex=1, endIndex=100000, step=1)

resulting in a backtrace

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

From this backtrace it seems a duplicate of #10

[unode]

This may actually be a bug hiding behind #5 . I guess #5 will have to be fixed first.

[unode]

Now that #5 is fixed, I can confirm that this segfault is still present.

[unode]

This now produces an informative exception and no segfault. Thanks for the fix.
