[LDM #PPR-218876]: ldm.pq file updating

Justin,

I'm an idiot!  I somehow through you were talking about the pqact(1)
configuration-file, pqact.conf.

The LDM product-queue file, ldm.pq, should be updated every time a
new data-product arrives.  The surprise in your case isn't that
it gets updated, but that it occurs so infrequently (on average,
40 data-products are generated on the IDD every second).  I suspect
that either the operating system is buffering updates to the 
product-queue or that you're receiving a small subset (in terms
of the number of products) from the IDD.
