The above message contained the following:

> Does anyone recognize the following message:

The above messages means that the LDM attempted to contact the
portmapper on the local system but that the connection was refused by
the portmapper.  Apparently, you have a portmapper running but it
won't talk to anyone.  That's a little odd.

The LDM is designed to use the portmapper if one is available.  If not,
then the LDM will, nevertheless, continue to work.
