We had a couple of accounting scripts fail on us during this weekend.
It turned out that the "culprit" was a job with the following job name:

for i in 1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10; do sh run.sh; done

(including the newlines!).  Our scripts didn't expect newlines in job
names, and so became angry. :)

I guess that if something is possible, sooner or later a user will try
it. :)
