I remember I saw this kind of problem a few years ago. I did a search of "EVENTQEMPTY" on my computer. Yes, there was an email sent by one of my colleagues reporting that incident:

A call to 'assert(ev_que->evque[ev_que->putix] == EVENTQEMPTY)'
    by thread 'CAS-client' failed in ../dbEvent.c line 701.

      This is a PowerPC running vxWorks 5.5.2 and Base R3.14.10.  The IOC
      had to be rebooted.  This is the second or third time we've seen
      ENOBUFS recently, although the engineers didn't see (look for)
      assertion failure before this.
