Thanks a lot!
Of course this was the rootlet of evil.
I was only looking in the release notes - not in the list of known problems.
Cheers,
Ralph

This is the very same issue I experienced when migrating my application
from R3.13.9 to R3.14. I concur with Ron about the undocumented change
in parameters. On dropping the 'Number of axes' parameter, it all sprang
into life! It took me a couple of days to track it down.

Ralph,
If you look at the "Known Problems" from R5-4 to R5-9 on the motor
record web page;
http://www.aps.anl.gov/upd/people/sluiter/epics/motor/index.html
you will find the following;

   1. An undocumented change was made in R5-4 to two OMS setup
      functions. Namely, the unused 2nd argument ("axes per card") was
      eliminated from omsSetup() and oms58Setup().

In other words, the 2nd argument was eliminated. That is probably your
problem.
