Christian,

It could be that your version of perl couldn't handle the large number
250000000.  To test this, create the queue outside the ldmadmin script, ie

% pqcreate -q ~ldm/data/ldm.pq -s 250000000

If this works ok then it's your version of perl.  We tried on a IRIX64
system at UPC and it worked fine here.
