That depends how you're trying to read that data - if via CA then yes it
might be related to that issue.

You should be able to use 'dbpr <recordname>, <level>' to see the record 
field values (level goes from 0 to 4) and watch them changing, which 
will prove that the database scanning is working.

Please cut/paste the output from 'casr 2' which may give some more clues 
with the CA problem.

It shouldn't be trying to actually compile anything under src/RTEMS
unless you've told the build system that netbsd-x86 is a valid
cross-compiler host for the RTEMS platform (which it probably isn't).

The libCom/test area won't build from the CVS trunk at the moment,
although it should do from the R3.14 branch snapshot.
