Our experience is that this occurs when you install WRS's new "SENS" IP stack 
into vxWorks. The compilation error occurs because the "SENS" header files have a macro
with the same name as one of the fields in a CA data structure. At some point I will install a 
workaround. I would be interested in hearing from those of you that would like to use WRS's
new "SENS" IP stack with EPICS R3.13.

Marti:
Please let me know if you see this compilation error on a vxWorks system that does not have 
the WRS "SENS" IP stack installed.
