Hi Mike,

> Institution: SJSU Meteorology
> Package Version: ldm-6.4.4 feeding to ldm-6.4.5
> Operating System: 2.4.22-1.2115.nptlsmp feeding to 2.6.9-42.0.2.ELsmp
> Hardware Information: PC

I notice from the LDM log file on Rossby that the connections to Sonoma 
sometimes break several times per hour.  Is there any indication in Sonoma's 
LDM log file as to why this occurs?
