[DRMAA-WG] Torque/PBS DRMAA - drmaa_wait clarification

Issue:

The DRMAA 1.0 specification does not clarify whether drmaa_wait()
running in one thread, should react to job submission event in the other
thread. This leads to ambiguity and makes this behavior implementation
dependant.

---------------

This situation leads to thread races and un-deterministic behavior.
Drama_wait would wait on the submitted and not yet done/failed jobs at
the moment it has been issued.  A clarification might be needed in the
spec.
