[Support #TXN-293177]: LDM 6.6.5: make failure on Intel Mac (OS X 10.5)

Dave,

> Virga's LDM stopped saving IDS+ data this morning; when I tried to

I was on Virga as the LDM user when you restarted the LDM.  I saw that
the downstream LDM process that should receive IDS data from
idd.unidata.ucar.edu wasn't doing anything.  I also saw that the log
file timestamps were in local time instead of UTC.

I haven't yet figured-out what the problem is.
