James,

This is the same as on the other RH 8.0 system that I have access to.

OK.  I figured it was worth a try.

>It's funny that when I tried deleting the ldm.pq file using the command
>"ldmadmin delqueue", I got a similar "split loop" error (line 478).

The procedure that does the delqueue action uses the same 'split'
logic as the start action, so the repeat of the error is expected.

>The "mkqueue" works without complaint.

The mkqueue action does not use that logic construct.

By any chance, do you have an alias for 'ls' in your user environment?
If so, I would either unalias ls before running ldmadmin or try editing
ldmadmin and changing all occurrances of:

    ( @QUEUES ) = split( "[ \t\n]+", `ls $pq_path` );

to:

    ( @QUEUES ) = split( "[ \t\n]+", `/bin/ls $pq_path` );

If this also fails, you could comment out the offending lines so
you can, at least, get going.

I checked the LDM inquiry archives for this problem, and see that one
other RH 8 user ran into it.  The problem was apparently never resolved,
so we are breaking new ground here.

>I'm open to suggestions that you or others at Unidata offer.

Three of us discussed this problem this evening.  The alias of the ls
command was the only thing we could think of that might cause this problem.
