Subject: compress record FIFI/LIFO not working

Hi all,

I am currently using epics base 3.16.1 and I have a problem with the compress record used as ring buffer.
In both, Epics 3.16.1 and 7.0 the update of the ring buffer is not FIFO or LIFO but happens somewhere in the middle of the array.
When I use the latest 3.15 branch everything works fine.

Here is an example of my test db-file and the output from camonitor:

record(calc,"counter") {
 field(CALC,"VAL+1")
 field(SCAN,"1 second")
}

record(compress,"ring") {
 field(DESC, "test")
 field(NSAM,"10")
 field(ALG,"Circular Buffer")
 field(INP,"counter")
 field(SCAN,"1 second")
 field(BALG,"LIFO")
 field(PREC,"1")
}

with epics 3.15 it is fine:

with epics 3.16 and 7.0 I get the wired update behaviour:
