Subject:	CAS-client thread issues in areaDetector IOC

Hi all,

I am currently ironing out a few bugs in an areaDetector driver I wrote a while ago for USB webcams, and doing some code cleanup (removing redundant code etc.), and I have encountered an

error I have not seen before, and I'm not sure what I have done to introduce it. I have ~15 beamline cameras working with this driver for time frames ranging from several months to a year, so I am

fairly certain this is a new issue. Essentially, after the IOC runs normally for some time, I get the following stack trace dumped to the EPICS shell:

epicsEventTrigger: pthread_mutex_lock failed: Invalid argument

epicsEventMustTriggerThread CAS-client (0x7f4e4c042f00) can't proceed, suspending.
