Well that's weird.

What kind of system is it (i.e., what's the output of the command 
"uname -a")?

How is pnga2area being invoked?  Is it being explicitly told to log to
the file?

This could take a while to diagnose.  Is there any way I could log onto
the system as user LDM?

FYI,

The upgrade to ldm-6.0.11 fixed the problems I mentioned on the 2nd
regarding ldmd.log being more or less devoid of activity.. it's back to 
normal now.
