Gilbert, I haven't forgotten you. In fact, I've been working on this problem non-stop. The problem is very intractable, so I ran the LDM code through the Coverity Scan static analysis site/tool. It found some defects that *might* cause the problem you've been seeing. I modified the code and we have it running here on one of our NOAAPORT ingest system. I'd like to give it a couple of more days to ensure that it's releasable.
