You will also find that in iocsh you can't use the VxWorks command-line
editing keys any more; I didn't notice that I had disabled the ledLib
implementation of our readline code, and this explains the change in
output that you see.

A fix for the Base-3.16 branch is below. The same changes should work on
EPICS 7 but some of the files have moved around slightly, src/libCom is
now modules/libcom/src/libCom. I will commit equivalent changes sometime
next week.
