Hi all,
It sort of looks like a socket problem, as Mike mentioned.
The occasional crashes could be from an occasional port scan that we
all see.
The standard internet IDD stuff does not seem to have
this problem. I feed locally from one machine to 6 others with no
problems from the LDM...a mixed bag of 5.1.2 and 5.1.3 versions.
Apparently this is NOAAPORT specific.

Jared. Sorry. You will get this note twice. The reply button
doesn't pick up this mailing list, and I forgot to change it.
