Quick update on weather3.admin.niu.edu...

[Gerry Creager N5JXS]

First thought... and before coffee, too... is that you're writing the 
queue to the same disk as your data.  I've config'd all my machines to 
have a system partition (60 GB on up, depending on prices) and a data 
partition for LDM and gempak data.  I write the queue to system space 
and the data and products to the data partition.
