Bug description:
  From Andrew Starrit <andrew.starritt AT synchrotron.org.au>:

  I recently upgraded many of my IOCs from base R3.14.12.5 to R3.15.5.  I have noticed a
  difference regarding literal hexadecimal numbers in INP fields as illustrated by the
  following example (the transition was otherwise painless):
   
   
  record (ai, "AI:HEX") {
      field (SCAN, ".1 second")
      field (INP,  "0x0200")
  }
   
  record (longin, "LI:HEX") {
      field (SCAN, ".1 second")
      field (INP,  "0x0200")
  }
   
  record (aSub, "AS:HEX") {
      field (SCAN, ".1 second")
      field (INPA, "0x0200")
      field (FTA,  "LONG")
      field (INPB, "0x0200")
      field (FTB,  "DOUBLE")
  }
   
   
  For EPICS R3.14.12.5 I get:
  $ caget  AI:HEX  LI:HEX  AS:HEX.A  AS:HEX.B
  AI:HEX                         512
  LI:HEX                         512
  AS:HEX.A                       512
  AS:HEX.B                       512
   
   
  while for EPICS R3.15.5 I now get:
  $ caget  AI:HEX  LI:HEX  AS:HEX.A  AS:HEX.B
  AI:HEX                         512
  LI:HEX                         0
  AS:HEX.A                       0
  AS:HEX.B                       512
