Could be, but I can't see how. The IOC is shutting down, asynManager is rejecting queueRequest calls to a disabled port (which is what the device support code uses), and asyn doesn't register any hooks that I can see. So AFAICT, when the records are the only users of the port, there should be no chaos. Are you just trying to be careful, or are you aware of something I missed? If I'm wrong about this, I'd love to know before I have to face the chaos :) .

Best,
Jure
