The assertion failure indicated that there was most likely something
wrong with your LDM queue (what exactly, I can't say just yet).  The
action I would have taken at this point would be to delete and remake
the queue and then restart:

<as 'ldm'>
ldmadmin clean
ldmadmin delqueue
ldmadmin mkqueue -f
ldmadmin start

I don't think so.  Upgrading to a current version of the LDM, however,
was something that I was toing to recommend anyway.

I will look further into the assertion error and see if I can figure out
what was going on.
