Funny, I have a problem that seems to related to shutdown, too. It may be
related or not. This came up when I tested the sequencer (version 2.2, for
which I promised Mark to make a new release ASAP). I updated my clone of the
base repo immediately before the test, so I should have Michael's latest
patch.

You can repat this by downloading http://www-csr.bessy.de/control/SoftDist/sequencer/releases/seq-2-2-snapshot-latest.tar.gz, building it against the head of base/3.15, and then running:

ben@sarun[1]: .../seq/branch-2-2 > cd test/validate/O.linux-x86_64
ben@sarun[1]: .../validate/O.linux-x86_64 > ./bittypes -t -d ../bittypes.db

Calling epicsThreadSuspendSelf()

I am using epicsAtThreadExit (in test/validate/testSupport.c) just before the
state set thread executes the SNL program shutdown. When the thread exits, my
atExit-callback does exit(EXIT_SUCCESS) in order to kill the whole process
(the IOC). It is done in this apparently backward manner so that I can detect
problems during the shutdown of the sequencer program, which I could not if I
called exit directly.

Cheers
Ben
