Robert,

Presumably the problem on the x86 box is the same: when ldmfail
runs and tries to shutdown and then restart the LDM.

Since nothing has changed in XCD, I would say that the problem is in
the LDM not killing off the XCD processes when it is told to exit.
I will touch base with the LDM folks about this tomorrow.
