Hiya,

This is the result of the LDM queue being too small, it also causes the
LDM to do a lot of extra work and create large product latencies and loose
data.  To fix the problem one needs to make the queue larger, the queue
should be at least 65 megabytes. If it's already 65 MG, increase it by
20%. To increase the queue size:

% vi bin/ldmadmin  
- look for variable $pq_size, increase it.
% ldmadmin stop
% ldmadmin delqueue
% ldmadmin mkqueue
% ldmadmin start
