I have recently noticed many new subdirectories being created in the
$LDMHOME directory.  These directories are all one (1) and two (2) alpha
characters in length. EXAMPLE:'+2' ';1' 'Y' '0'

Upon examination of the data they all seem to have the station of origin as
KWSI, for example:

This bulletin gets placed into a directory called ~ldm/O/20.

pqcat -v reveals:

I get my data directly from a WSI HCSN feed and from the Canadian Met.
Center's Anikom Satellite service.

Is anyone else getting these randomly created subdirectories in the $LDMHOME
directory?
