Hi.

To my mind the only possibility is to cancel the duplicate job to-be-run with 
a "run before job script" (I've posted my check-job.sh in this list multiple 
times previously) and to avoid these cancelled full jobs causing the next one 
being full too, you have to have "rerun failed jobs = no".
