Hi Jeff,

Hmm, I may have been wrong about that, my apologies.  *Some* of this 
discussion was about epicsThreadSleep(), but looking back at Ralph's original 
message maybe he *was* discussing your C++ class?  Ralph, can you clarify this 
please.

For anyone who doesn't realize this, the C++ epicsTimer class calls 
epicsThreadSleep() and can be used to implement a periodically-processed 
callback.  The IOC database does not use this code at all, but I don't know if 
StreamDevice does or not.
