I had already started creating a new softTest program, analogous to the
asyncSoftTest code already under std/rec/test. Will finish off tomorrow.

Thanks for responding.

That's a whole other level of complexity, the result would have to be
saved in the processNotify object by dbNotify and then retrieved and
returned to the client by the rsrv callback routine — the first part is
easy, but the second isn't obvious...

Similar, I think that's a different bug (and I shouldn't really have
been spending time writing tests for the original problem at the moment,
but I did).
