No.  Upon further investigation, the problem is that the "pqact"
process that "pqsurf" starts as a child process to handle the
broken-apart data-products in the "pqsurf" product-queue
(data/pqsurf.pq) is terminating abnormally due to a segmentation
violation.

Try deleting and recreating the "pqsurf" product-queue:

    ldmadmin stop
    ldmadmin delsurfqueue
    ldmadmin mksurfqueue
    rm $HOME/etc/pqsurf.conf.state
    ldmadmin start

The second-to-last command above will remove the persistent-state
file for the "pqsurf" program.  That file seems to have some old
information in it.

Steve Emmerson
