The above message contained the following:

I logged onto Eldmf1.  The top-level LDM server appears to be hung.  I'd
like to know where it's hung but gdb(1) can't attach to the process
(23317) because the process is setuid and owned by root.

Would you please have root execute the following command:

    strace -p23317

Redirect the standard output and standard error streams to the same
file.  After some time (a minute?) kill the process and send me the
file.  Thanks.
