I had raised a bug on Connect about the cleanup just running the delete
stored proc without a job name parameter bug 322320, but then Andrew Kelly
corrected me in how attaching a cleanup task to a maintenance plan had no
idea what the job was called so it could add the parameter.

I may look at running the cleanup a number of times a day so it does not
deadlock with other maintenance jobs adding to the jobhistory.

Thanks again.
