Re: LDM 5.0.8 release

Dana,

If this is a Linux box the queue must be delete and remade before it will
work with this release.  I forgot to mention this in the release notes.

To debug an LDM that hangs on start up, run the following from LDM home:

% bin/rpc.ldmd -vl - -q data/ldm.pq etc/ldmd.conf

If the LDM still hangs, comment out all lines in the ldmd.conf file, try
again.
