I had a similar experience with NMC 7.6.3.1 − 7.6.3.4 on a Red Hat Linux AS 6.1
server. My VMware guy insisted I move my NMC VM from an old Red Hat Linux
version to 6.1. NMC ran fine for a few days, then the database died that
Saturday. I re-installed NMC and it worked for a couple of more days, then each
time I tried to restart NMC, it would die a minute or two after I restarted the
gstd service. I finally had my VMware guy set me up with a Red Hat Linux 5.1
VM, but the database became corrupt, so I had to restore it from a three weeks
old backup from before I moved it to Red Hat Linux 6.1. It was not a pretty
picture.
