[StarCluster] SGE on StarCluster

There seems to be a mistake either in the documentation or the Star Cluster
configuration.  The documentation currently states:

In http://star.mit.edu/cluster/docs/0.94/plugins/sge.html, under "Parallel
Environment Allocation Rule", it states:

By default StarCluster uses the *fill_up* allocation rule.

However, when I look at the queue configuration, I see:

ec2-user at master:~$ qconf -sp orte
pe_name            orte
slots              4
user_lists         NONE
xuser_lists        NONE
start_proc_args    /bin/true
stop_proc_args     /bin/true
allocation_rule    $round_robin
control_slaves     TRUE
job_is_first_task  FALSE
urgency_slots      min
accounting_summary FALSE

The allocation rule shows round_robin.  I would prefer to have fill_up
myself, so I'm not sure if the docs are incorrect, or the configuration of
StarCluster is incorrect.  And, how do I fix this in my config script?
