It means that the upstream LDM process on Hercules couldn't flush the
connection to the downstream LDM process on Malbec.  The upstream LDM
will, consequently, terminate and the downstream LDM will, consequently,
reconnect.  No data should be lost.

The cause is likely to be the poor quality of the connection between
Hercules and Malbec.

I don't think it could hurt, but I would only do it if a downstream LDM
ran on Hercules on the same version of the operating-system or if the
LDM on Hercules exhibited the same symptoms.  See
