Hi, Ben.

No, I was looking at 3.14.12.1.

If assertions are enabled and the EPICS assert is being used,
then epicsThreadSuspendSelf() will be called by all those
functions I listed which use assert.  As Dirk pointed out, for
some of these that's OK, so I shouldn't have listed them.  But
for the *MustCreate functions, the thread will be suspended if
the system is out of memory.

And then there's my related note problem where the behavior is
different depending on whether assertions are enabled.  For the
*MustCreate functions, if assertions are enabled, the thread
suspends if there's not enough memory.  If assertions are
disabled, the application likely crashes somewhere else because
the memory was not allocated.
