The only thing I can think of to try is rebooting the machine. Draconian yes, but pretty much the only thing left to try! If a copy of dmgrid.k is cached in memory, and if it is somehow munged, then a reboot is the quickest way to get back to a clean slate. The other reason that I suspect that something is amiss memory wise is that the XCD startup log file, ~mcidas/uvaworkdata/XCD_START.LOG is exceedingly small: windfall: /home/mcidas/uvaworkdata % cat XCD_START.LOG Starting DDS at 00099.220756 High Resolution Data Service Given the fact that I have stopped and restarted dmgrid.k several times, I would expect there to be multiple entries telling me that DMGRID was being started. I will keep trying to see if I have missed anything, but I don't have a lot of hope at this point. I am saving all of the ETA, MRF, and AVN files we are decoding here until further notice. You can get them sometime on Monday. Tom
