Experimental Physics and Industrial Control System

I am working with EPICS base R3.13.4 on a vxWorks IOC (PowerPC mcp750, 
VxWorks 5.4).  

Something very odd happens when I try to use the three records in the 
attached .db file on the IOC.  Each record initializes successfully 
and works correctly if it is the only one of the 3 that is loaded 
(say, by commenting out the other two).  The ai record, 
SR$(s)S___BPMCLK_AM00, always works OK, even in combination with either 
of or both the other two records.  

If I load all 3 records, no matter in what order, the ao and bi records
fail at iocInit with the messages:
	filename="../recGbl.c" line number=105
	Illegal field value PV: SR07S___BPMCLK_AC00  \
		devAoSymb (init_record) Illegal NAME or OUT field
	filename="../recGbl.c" line number=105
	Bad init_rec return value  PV: SR07S___BPMCLK_AC00  ao: init_record
	filename="../recGbl.c" line number=105
	Illegal field value PV: SR07S___BPMCLK_BM00  \
		devBiSymb (init_record) Illegal NAME or INP field
	iocInit: Database Failed during Initialization

If I load only the ao and bi records, then the ao record init succeeds,
but the bi record fails.  If I load either along with the ai record,
only the ai record succeeds.  Again, load order makes no difference.

Has anyone else had this problem?  Can anyone tell me why these records
play alone OK but not together?  Is a remedy available?
