If the processes are upstream LDM-s sending data to downstream LDM-s
that are switching between PRIMARY and ALTERNATE transfer modes, then
that is what I would expect to happen.  You can determine what kind
of processes they are by matching the PID from the "ps" output to
the same PID in the log file entries.  If the entries contain the
string "(feed)" or "(noti)", then the process is an upstream LDM.
