OK...

 It fixes the caching problem.  LDM stops immediately when
you run ldmadmin stop.   However, it very seriously impacts
performance.... I tried it on the machine ingesting the NMC2
feed and was getting latencies over an hour and missing
many products (presumably they were going out of the queue
on the source end before they could be transmitted).   Switching
back to the mmap version quickly returned latencies
to only seconds.  So, that doesn't look to be an answer.
