Comment(by pgf):

 thomaswamm -- since you can reliably reproduce this, let me expand on
 cjb's response, in case you'd like to help (even more!) by supplying a
 log.  in a terminal, first you'll need to stop the running ohmd.  become
 root with "su", and then:

 {{{
 /etc/init.d/ohmd stop
 }}}

 then, to start a new copy, and to easily save the log, run:

 {{{
 nohup ohmd --no-daemon --verbose &
 }}}

 the log will be saved in a file called "nohup.out".  (the nohup command
 will help keep ohmd running even if you quit your terminal window.)

 i'll try and reproduce as well (i couldn't do so yesterday).
