[IDD #CWR-357624]: LDM queue keeps growing

I don't see anything wrong with your LDM registry file either. Just to make 
sure, however, would you please send us the output of the command "ldmadmin 
config".

The only mechanism I know of (and I should know) is if the 
"reconciliation-mode" parameter is set to "increase queue".

How was the queue made? "ldmadmin mkqueue" or "ldmadmin mkqueue -f"?

Very odd.

Would you please send us the output of the following commands:
    ls -l ~/var/queues/
    ps -ef | grep ldmd
    pqcat ~/var/queues/ldm.pq >/dev/null
    pqcat ~/var/queues/ldmd.pq >/dev/null
    crontab -l | grep '^[^#]'

> This server and another have been running stable since

Did something recently change on the system in question (other than the LDM's 
behavior, of course).

At this point, no. We've never seen this behavior before.
