Hello Mathew,
My best guess (subject to change of course :-) is that some tangential code
is corrupting the semaphore id used by a timer queue thread.
> epicsThread: Unexpected C++ exception "epicsEvent::invalidSemaphore()"
This is coming from the last chance exception handler in the epicsThread
class. It is not a message from the dreaded unexpected exception handler in
the CRTL (associated with violated exception specifications). I will fix the
message emitted by epicsThread so that this is clear in the future.

This output might be supporting evidence for the corruption theory.
Please try also the vxWorks shell "tt" command for the suspended thread.
That may, or may not, provide some useful information.
