Description
From spindle on El Cap:
-o spindle.level=high and executable does not exist: flux dumps core and the job sticks around with no output or error until the job reaches its time limit
-o spindle=numa and executable does not exist: no error message, but job does die
Default spindle options (-o spindle.level=medium) and executable does not exist: expected error message about executable doesn’t exist and job fails as expected.

Research direction
Reproduce the behavior on El Cap with a nonexistent executable and the reported spindle.level=high and spindle=numa options, comparing it with spindle.level=medium. Trace the failure handling for each option; done means every configuration reports the missing executable and terminates the job without a core dump or a job stuck until its time limit.
