Ben, The message queues owned by both ldm and www are likely doe to failures in the script. As both those users, I'd suggest running the "cleanup -c" command from the GEMPAK script directory to remove the message queues and kill any lingering gplt processes. You should also check to make sure there aren't any "gif" processes as well.
