Should I take this as a hint that my hack is likely to come unstuck?  In 
truth I'm tending back to using separate length and index controls 
managing standard waveform records, but it isn't that code's turn yet...

I took care to avoid tampering with epics itself, so the only change I've 
made is that my subArray init_record reassigns MALM to a much larger 
value.  I haven't worked that code very hard yet, as other stuff has 
intervened, but at first glance it seemed to work ok.
