I have to assume that the -d flag that you are putting before
the PPS or 18 is just the debug flag, and not something that
is needed to specify the ldisc.  That was confusing when I
first looked at your posting.

Other than that, it still looks like you have an old ldattach.
Could you possibly have TWO in your system, and you are
getting to the old one due to your PATH statement?
