Re: CA gateway dies without error message

["Martin L. Smith" <mls@aps.anl.gov>]

Hi Andrew and Dirk,

We do allow puts through the PV gateways on Linux-x86 (ctlapps4l),
Solaris-x86 (User gateways), and Solaris-sparc (rhea) which are all
built against EPICS 3.14.11

I have had some of them running since March, April, and June since we
have about 40 gateways. I have not seen any widespread problems with them.
