Hi Peter,

I thought ST_EMPTY_SESSION_CONTROL would be a natural and reasonable
return value for drmaa_control(DRMAA_JOB_IDS_SESSION_ALL) being
performed on an empty session. The purpose of
drmaa_control(DRMAA_JOB_IDS_SESSION_ALL) is to perform the control
operation on all jobs within the session. In case of the empty
session it is clear that no error can occur, thus it succeeds :-)

But anyways. For me it is obvious this case will occurs not too
frequently so I'm fine if you skip it from the compliance testing
procedure.

Best regards,
Andreas
