Strange ldm/gempak behaviour

Yes, I have been having very similar problems with dcmetr (it would hang 
and use all the CPU and produce corrupted .gem files).  I reported it a week

or so ago, but never got any responses from anyone having issues.

I have to do a pkill -9 dcmetr

Hi...

Thought I'd throw this out for comments...  I just fixed (I think) a
strange LDM/Gempak problem:  dcmetr was core dumping many times/minute,
yesterday's *sao.gem file was at the 4GB limit (actually, larger
4488229376 bytes...???) but today's was ~4.5M thus far.  I figured I would
stop/restart the ldm, but when I tried to stop it, one rpc and rtstats
wouldn't go down, so I had to kill them, remake the queues, and then
restart.  Oddly enough, I have a second ldm running on another system that
also decodes metars (who's files seemed okay size-wise) that, when I tried
to stop its ldm, it also hung similarly and I had to kill/rebuild/restart
it as well.

Anyone have any similar experience or could suggest a cause?  I don't
recall that I've ever seen anything quite like this before.

                                Thanks.
