Octal escape sequence translation issue in base 7.0.6.1?

[Mark Rivers via Tech-talk <tech-talk at aps.anl.gov>]

Folks,

 

I just switched to using base 7.0.6.1 on my beamlines.  When I try to start a Pilatus detector I get this error:

 

# Set the input and output terminators.

asynOctetSetInputEos("camserver", 0, "\030")

Set EOS failed: camserver illegal eoslen 3

 

It appears that it is interpreting the escape sequence \030 as a string of 3 characters rather than as a single character.  Is this a bug in base 7.0.6.1 or a problem with my syntax?  This used to work fine with base 7.0.4, I have not changed anything.

 

Thanks,

Mark
