As commented on the tracker, I re-built and tested, now it works. Thanks
Michael for the super fast fix!

@Ernest: Michael already replied concerning testing. You can also build an
IOC, pointing to the 7.0.2 base and the latest fix by Michael.

Nothing very special is needed; I attached the makefile and st.cmd that I
used, just for reference.

Just add records something like this:

record(int64in, "verylongIn")
{
  field(DTYP,"Soft Channel")
}
record(int64out, "verylongOut")
{
  field(DTYP,"Soft Channel")
}

(I added the DTYP, just to be sure. Would be the default anyway.)

Cheers,

Timo
