This could be caused by your subroutines clobbering some of the CA server’s data structures or a bug in the CA server although at this point it’s hard to establish causality between executing your subroutine and activities in the CA server.

 

The first step in determining the cause of the problem will be to get a stack trace for the suspended CA server thread. On vxWorks type “tt <task id>”. The task id in the message you provide below is 0x1bc1454.

 

I would probably single step your subroutine from the vxWorks shell or the tornado debugger if I was debugging this situation.

Subject: CA_client error with execution of genSub record

 

I am running EPICS 3.13.7 and am writing a subroutine for the genSub record.  It has no errors as far as I can check with printf statements and seems to return fine, but produces the following error.  Note:  other genSub records are running fine.

Has anyone seen this and know what it might indicate?
