The root problem here I suspect is that DB CA link code does not have a
shutdown procedure and therefore it is not destroying its CA context before

the UDP thread uses start to cease to exist then the UDP thread crashes.

If that is the problem the I agree we don't have much chance of fixing

it. The strange thing though is that it's reporting an unknown C++

exception, so there is probably still something there that's able to

catch whatever it being thrown. If we could modify the CAC-UDP task to

expect that exception we could at least suppress the warning message, or

convert it to something a little more innocuous.

What OS do you see this on? We might be able to attach with a debugger to
get more detail, but I suspect that we will only see that the above
suspicions are accurate.

I've only seen it on linux-x86 so far - I tried it on Solaris but it

didn't occur there, and I've not run the tests on vxWorks yet.
