There appears to be a bug in the dfanout record of Epics R3.12.1.2.  When
fields OUT[A-H] contain a channel access link, the following error appears
at iocInit time:

dbCa_dbfailure ERROR: dbCaAddOutlink() unable to convert new DBF->old DBR

After iocInit a dump of  the record shows:

OUTA: PV_LINK pp=1 ms=0 S3BnchClkGenSetBucketAO.VAL

The record, S3BnchClkGenSetBucketAO is a valid existing record on another ioc.
Marty Kraimer has looked at the code and identified the problem.
