Mine ended up from Q to R to E to H.
So instead of exiting it went to H.

Further more, i deleted my run using "qdel" my program as it seemed to go
nowhere. Most of the runs above which are held have similar comments.

I was hoping to see an error file but while held, it is not generating an
error file so figuring out what is wrong has been challenging.
