Hi Gilbert,

I sent you some email about this about an hour and a half ago.  Did you
get it?  I've appended it below.

May I log onto your machine?  If so, I still have the old password, if
it still works.

Hi Gilbert!

I'm sorry to hear that the "runaway rpc.ldmd spawning" problem has hit
you.  We have seen this problem on rare occasions.  How is it going now?

Have you remade the queue recently?  If you haven't, and you do, will
you please save the old queue for me?  I might try to use it to
reproduce the problem.

Is there anything relevant in the log?  May I see your log?  For that
matter, if it's occuring, may I log in and look around?

If you're interested in what we know about this problem, go to the
support archives and search on 'mcdermott' - Tom McDermott had this
problem most recently.  It will give you some ideas for things to check.

Anne
