Thank you MArk,
as fast as always. Sorry for the delay on my side but it took me a while to get the dump read on modern ubuntu

(Had to go via apport, just for record
 sudo service apport start
 sudo apt install apport-retrace
 apport-unpack /var/crash/_opt_epics_FHI_IOCINFRA_bin_linux-x86_64_IOCINFRA.1000.crash crash
 cd crash; gdb `cat ExecutablePath` CoreDump
}

but as a result it shows:

Hi Heinz,

I just looked at the code.  The relevant parts are these:

   if (nread < 1 ) {
       asynPrint(pasynUser, ASYN_TRACE_ERROR,
                 "devTPG261::devTPG261Callback Cmd %s message too small=%d\n",
                 pr->name, nread);
       recGblSetSevr(pr, READ_ALARM, INVALID_ALARM);
       goto finish;
   }
...
   /* Process the record. This will result in the readX or writeX routine
      being called again, but with pact=1 */
finish:
   dbScanLock(pr);
   (*prset->process)(pr);
   dbScanUnlock(pr);
}

I don’t see anything obvious wrong there.  Can you get a stack trace to see where it is actually crashing?

Mark

Subject: ioc crash with ip module (synaps) TPG261 message too small=0

Using epics7
asyn Release 4-34
ip Release 2-20 XXX, 2018

if there is no TPG261 connected to the serial port, the ioc chrashes with

2019/02/13 18:23:58.277 devTPG261::devTPG261Callback Val trARPES:HHG:ID message too small=0

is called in the st.cmd like

drvAsynIPPortConfigure("MOXA_9", "172.24.192.29:4009", 0, 0, 0)
asynSetTraceIOMask("MOXA_9", 0, 0x2)
asynSetTraceMask("MOXA_9", 0, 255)
dbLoadRecords("$(IP)/ipApp/Db/TPG261.db", "P=trARPES:, ADDR=1,TIMEOUT=5, GAUGE=HHG, PORT=MOXA_9")
