So you're running version 6.4.5.1 of the LDM, eh?  Version 6.4.6 (which isn't 
out yet) has a modification that might solve the problem of the previous crash. 
 I'll see about releasing it to you.

It appears from the stack trace that the LDM server was logging the fact that a 
child process had terminated with it received another (or possibly the same) 
SIGCHLD signal and re-entered the logging module to write another message.  
This is a different crash than the previous one.  It could be that the logging 
module can't handle that situation.  I'll check.

Steve Emmerson
