When the LDM has a corrupted queue, you need to delete the current queue with "ldmadmin delqueue" and then recreate the queue with "ldmadmin mkqueue". After making the new queue, you can restart the LDM with "ldmadmin start". Typically, a queue can become corrupted if the machine is rebooted while the LDM is writing data into the queue. Because of this, you should always try to shut down the LDM gracefully with "ldmadmin stop" before rebooting your computer if possible. Steve Chiswell
