I need more information.  What is the LDM process that's getting
reset?  Is it the top-level LDM daemon that listening for connections
from downstream LDM-s, is it a child LDM process that's sending
data-products, or is it a child LDM process that's receiving
data-products?

Also, some log entries that illustrate the problem might be helpful.
