Everything is now running again.   For the record, the failing job and
the restarted job have these command lines: 

[1]+  Exit 2                  ../cadofactor.pl params=../params/params.c147 
wdir=. name=c147 n=`cat num.n` machines=./mach_desc
pcl@maat ~/cado-nfs/test $ pwd
/home/pcl/cado-nfs/test
pcl@maat ~/cado-nfs/test $ ../cadofactor.pl 
params=/home/pcl/cado-nfs/params/params.c147 wdir=/home/pcl/cado-nfs/test/ 
name=c147 n=`cat num.n` machines=/home/pcl/cado-nfs/test/mach_desc


Nonetheless, cadofactor.pl should convert relative to absolute paths
where required and, as Emmanual says, this is a bug in the current
implementation.
