This message is relevant to a CA gateway failure reported by Rolf
Keitel (Mantis Entry 113). The symptom observed was a corrupt
value written through the CA gateway when it is under a heavy
client induced write through load. The bug has been isolated to
the portable CA server. An incoming payload for a CA put was byte
swapped twice when an IO operation was restarted due to heavy
client loads.
I have committed a fix to CVS. This fix should appear first in
EPICS R3.14.7.
Actually in R3.14.8, since R3.14.7 was released last December. I'm not
aware of any current plans to release R3.14.8 anytime soon.
It will be important to *not* enable writes through your gateway
until you receive a patch for this bug.
Jeff - if this fix can be isolated into a patch file, I can make that
accessible through the Known Problems page for R3.14.7. I have just
added the above report to that page, which already has links to some
other patch files.
