Hah, you were spot on Christiano and many thanks for it!
The only reason why I am keeping this thread open is that now the short dumps are gone, but the system won't connect to the LiveCache no more.
Calling LC10 results in the following error (after being stuck a while trying to retrieve version info):
>DBM_EXECUTE
>dbm_version
>command timeout exceeded
Maybe you can also help me with this one?
