The CPU's gets really hot without a fan, I accidently touched one on a HP
and it burnt my finger.


Just a reminder, if you installed a binary version of the LDM you need to
get the pqact in the directory also, It has the Y2K bug fixes in it. If
you built the LDM from source, you need to get palt.c and replace the one
in the src/pqact  directory.
