Gilbert,

The last invocation of regutil(1) was improper. It shouldn't have crashed, 
though. I'll fix that.

You won't have to anything with the link when upgrading. This was a one-shot 
deal because 1) you had a previous, pre-6.9 release; and 2) your product-queues 
weren't in the usual place (~/data).

If you didn't have a previous, pre-6.9 release, then the 
"installstatedir=/dev/shm" would have worked -- even though you shouldn't use 
that feature because it would mean that the log files and metrics files would 
disappear every time the system was rebooted. Having the registry means that 
you now have finer-grained control over the placement of your files: you can 
have just the product-queues in /dev/shm.

Did you configure the "/reconciliation-mode" parameter for automatic 
re-creations of the product-queue?

Did you add the "ldmadmin check" command to your crontab(1).
