Well, if keeping it in debug mode keeps this seemingly random,
mysterious problem from occurring, given that you have lots of disk
space, it might be worth it! :-/   (It seemed to work last time!) 
Heisenberg's goal was observation, mine is bug fixing.

Please do ask.  I'll confer with our system administrator.

Things are structured this way for some probably very good, albeit
unknown, hysteric..., er, historical reasons.  However, I will add your
suggestion to my maintenence task list and consider it very carefully. 
Seriously, it's a good idea.

But, you can tell which version you're running by by doing 'ls -l
runtime' in ~ldm.  In the default set up (which you have) the link
'runtime' will point to the version that you are currently using.  We
installed 5.1.4 on aeolus back in November.
