Hi Tim,EPICS 3.15 is trying to make it easier for an IOC to cleanly shutdown. It add tests and better control over shutdown hooks. Autosave, on the other hand, starts a thread - running the save_restore() function - that is designed to never shut down.
That seems like a clear conflict of interests, that shows as frequent error messages on shutdown:
A call to 'assert(dbLockIsInitialized)'by thread 'save_restore' failed in ../../../src/ioc/db/dbLock.c line 255.EPICS Release EPICS R3.15.0.1-DEV $$Date$$.

(Autosave trying to use cleaned-up stuff in Base.) Do you have any thoughts on this? Cheers, ~Ralph
