Hi Robb,

No, I'm not seeing any queue growth on Linux with _MAPRGNS set.
The actual size of the queue file is slightly larger than is
specified in ldmadmin, but that seems to be a rounding off kind
of thing.  They don't seem to be growing during operation. 
I checked the queue size on the NMC2 ingest machine which
has been running for over a month without a ldm restart and
then remade the queue.  It is the same size after remaking
as before, so it had not grown any during a long period of
operation.  That is a RH6.0 machine with a ~800MB queue.

I also checked our main ldm machine running 5.3 with a ~300MB
queue and the same is true there, though it gets restarted
more frequently.   So, I'd say, no, we're not seeing any
queue growth.

Note...I'm still using a pre-release version of 5.0.8 with my own mods to
define _MAPRGNS...had not gotten around to installing the final one yet so
there may be a difference there.  You might ask Gilbert Sebenste.
I helped him install the new 5.0.8 on both of his Linux boxes last
week.
