Re: EPICS latest stable version

Olivier,

I've seen CA misaligned protocol errors on IOCs at the APS in the past. 
 I believe they were caused by network security scans run by the IT 
group.  There was a strong correlation between the error messages and 
shutdown days, which is the only time IT scans the beamlines.
IOCs usually didn't need to be restarted after the errors occurred.  I 
believe Windows IOCs were the exception.  I vaguely recall the scans 
crashing Windows IOCs.
