I thought this was the latest code(release) ?

Yep, the ldm is compiled and located at: /tmp/ldm   It's currently running
and receiving DDPLUS from zero.  The ldmd.log.1 file contains a crash
similar to the one I sent yesterday. The crash was created when I did a
feedme on laraine to sunshine.  For some reason, I can't get the ldm to
dump core.  I have in my .cshrc:

limit coredumpsize 100M

still no core file.  I don't understand this. Anyhow, I would suggest
doing a feedme to sunshine and watch the results.
