Kevin,

This is not some sort of known problem.

>If so what can I do about it?

As I said in my previous email:

"When this happens, you should check the end of the current LDM log file.
Before you restart this would be ~ldm/logs/ldmd.log.  After you restart,
this would be ~ldm/logs/ldmd.log.1.  (This comment assumed that your
logging is setup and working correctly, of course)."

When you look at the log file, you should pass along what you see back
to us so we have some sort of clue as to what may be going on.  Who
knows, it may have something to do with something in your operating
system that application of OS patches might fix.  Until we see what
is being written to the log file when the LDM shuts down, we can
have no way of advising you.

The LDM log file should tell us why your LDM is exiting.

>I've rebooted my machine when this happens to try and
>"clear things out" and then restart it but it still seems to happen.

Rebooting should not have an effect.

Again, as I said in my previous email:

"We need more information on why it stopped."
