Dear all,

  I was just running a portable CA server with a sufficiently high debug
level to see all the CA name resolution broadcasts (e.g. "excas -d3")
and there are a heck of a lot. I think that the number is higher than I
expected for two reasons:

1. link fields of the form " NPP" etc. (which are arguably a bug but
   which can happen if the Capfast value is something like "$(var) NPP"
   and $(var) is blank) result in a search for a PV called "NPP"

2. INP/OUT fields for records that are currently simulating still result
   in name resolution broadcasts for the referenced channels (if you are
   simulating, the referenced channels are quite likely not to exist)

  Are either of both of the behaviors expected and/or easy to change?

  Thanks,

  William
