I have recently noticed many new subdirectories being created in the
$LDMHOME directory. These directories are all one (1) and two (2) alpha
characters in length. EXAMPLE:'+2' ';1' 'Y' '0'
Upon examination of the data they all seem to have the station of origin as
KWSI, for example:

I get my data directly from a WSI HCSN feed and from the Canadian Met.
Center's Anikom Satellite service.
Is anyone else getting these randomly created subdirectories in the $LDMHOME
directory?
