Out of curiosity, may I see the lines from your ldmd.conf to allow graup1 to connect to vortex?
From my machine here, imogene, I'm able to do 'notifyme' and also to receive data from vortex running both V5.1.2 and V5.0.8, so I assume my connection didn't cause the problem to occur.
Still working on this one...
