It appears that the six pqact(1) processes were each sent a SIGINT
signal from the top-level LDM process.  We need to know why the
top-level LDM process did this.  To diagnose the logging problem, I
suggest

    1.  Going into the directory "src/ulog".

    2.  Executing the command "make ulogger".

    3.  Testing the ability to log to the standard error stream by
        executing the commands

            ./ulogger -l- -p error "NOTICE test"
            ./ulogger -l- -p warning "NOTICE test"
            ./ulogger -l- -p notice "NOTICE test"
            ./ulogger -l- -p info "NOTICE test"
            ./ulogger -l- -p debug "NOTICE test"

    4.  Testing the ability to log to the LDM log file by
        executing the commands

            ./ulogger -p error "ERROR test"
            ./ulogger -p warning "WARNING test"
            ./ulogger -p notice "NOTICE test"
            ./ulogger -p info "INFO test"
            ./ulogger -p debug "DEBUG test"

Please let me know what you discover.
