Hi...
Thought I'd throw this out for comments... I just fixed (I think) a
strange LDM/Gempak problem: dcmetr was core dumping many times/minute,
yesterday's *sao.gem file was at the 4GB limit (actually, larger
4488229376 bytes...???) but today's was ~4.5M thus far. I figured I would
stop/restart the ldm, but when I tried to stop it, one rpc and rtstats
wouldn't go down, so I had to kill them, remake the queues, and then
restart. Oddly enough, I have a second ldm running on another system that
also decodes metars (who's files seemed okay size-wise) that, when I tried
to stop its ldm, it also hung similarly and I had to kill/rebuild/restart
it as well.
Anyone have any similar experience or could suggest a cause? I don't
recall that I've ever seen anything quite like this before.
Thanks.
Art.
