That is a somewhat misleading statement; the EPICS core software is
managed by the EPICS core developers, any of who can and do commit
changes to the code, in most cases spending at least some of their own
time to do so. Just like employees of Argonne, Brookhaven, ORNL and
SLAC, some Osprey DCS developers contribute to EPICS in the same way
that IBM, Red Hat and Oracle employees contribute to the Linux kernel
without those companies "owning" Linux.
As a result of Jeff's disengagement from the community in recent years,
Michael Davidsaver has fixed bugs and introduced new features in areas
where Jeff used to have primary responsibilities. I am grateful to both
of them for their valuable contributions to the code.

I have created a bug report to track this issue, see

As Ralph pointed out, the two CAS warning messages pre-dated the
CAS-client assertion failures by a week or more, so we don't know
whether the two are connected at all.
It may be that all we can do is try to improve the diagnostics in the
dbEvent code and maybe avoid suspending the thread.
