Good Morning, Jeff!

We're doing pretty well here, thank goodness.  The past week has been a
wakeup call to count my blessings.

This looks like a problem.  Something that pqact is firing up is
failing, perhaps a decoder.  This is often due to permissions not being
set correctly.  Is the decoder executable by user ldm?  Is it trying to
write to a directory not writeable by ldm?

Or perhaps the decoder doesn't like it's input.  A good test is to save
a product to a file, then pipe the product to the decoder by hand to
ensure that the decoder doesn't choke.

Do you have a lot of entries in your pqact.conf file?  I suggest
starting with one at time.  Make sure one is working properly before
adding in another.

Check these things out.  If the solution does not appear to you, send me
a copy of your pqact.conf file and I'll look for other possibilities.
