Odd.  Others (including ourselves) have downloaded and unpacked that 
distribution without problems.

Is the file the right size and does it have the correct checksum?  Here's what 
they should be:

    $ ls -l ldm-6.4.5.tar.Z
    -rw-r--r-- 1 steve ustaff 982699 Mar  3 11:25 ldm-6.4.5.tar.Z
    $ cksum ldm-6.4.5.tar.Z
    186269662       982699  ldm-6.4.5.tar.Z

If the size or checksum differ, then the file might have been corrupted during 
the download.  If both the size and checksum are OK, then what happens if you 
execute the following unpacking command?

    tar xvzf ldm-6.4.5.tar.Z

Regards,
Steve Emmerson
