Hi, Mike.

I jumped on as soon as I saw your email, and found that the LDM queue
had gotten corrupted somehow:

% less logs/ldmd.log
 ...
Sep 04 22:30:48 cyclone.natnet.du.edu striker[24917]: assertion "(q == TQ_NIL) 
|| (TQ_HEAD < q && q < tq->nalloc + TQ_OVERHEAD_ELEMS)" fai
led: file "pq.c", line 737

The only solution for a situation like this is to delete and remake the
queue followed by a new start:

ldmadmin delqueue
ldmadmin mkqueue
ldmadmin clean
ldmadmin start

Immediately after doing the above, the LDM started getting data, and
it is being decoded by the ldm0mcidas and McIDAS-XCD decoders.

The question is how your queue gets corrupted!?

No worries.  Talk to you later...
