Bug in LDM 6.10

Hello all,

Once again a bug has reared its ugly head on my machine.

Tonight, around 00:48Z, my machine inexplicably crashed. No logs telling 
me of any problems...it was as if someone had simply unplugged the 
machine, and then rebooted.

This is not the first time. Whenever I feed IDS|DDPLUS from 
flood.atmos.uiuc.edu or f5.meteor.wisc.edu, it crashes.
Feeding from weather.cod.edu, no problem...feeding from UNIDATA, no 
problem. I'm wondering if they are still on 6.0X?

In any case, I am now feeding from atm.geo.nsf.gov. COD is going down for 
a power upgrade at the school, knocking them off line over the holiday, 
mainly Friday. So I switched this afternoon around 2 PM to 
flood.atmos.uiuc.edu. That lasted 4 hours before the machine halted and 
rebooted.

I'm running fedora Core 1 from redhat. 3 GHZ processor, less than 25% hard 
drive space used. 1.5 GB RAM.

Hello all,

It couldn't have been more coincidental to fool me. A long time problem I 
thought that hadn't been fixed, may be fixed after all. Weather3 crashed 
again without warning last night. So I came in Thanksgiving evening to 
restart it. But after 5 minutes, the UPS beeped loudly, and the thing 
died. The UPS battery is dead. ARRRGH! I just plugged in the machine into 
another non-battery backed-up outlet (but surge protected) on the UPS. 
It's working now, apparently.

D'oh!
