The error code ECA_MAXIOC is not returned by any modern 
version of the CA client library.

Perhaps the error code ECA_NORMAL==1 (success) was
confused with the first CA error code - ECA_MAXIOC!=1.

Very old versions of EPICS used to have a limit on the
maximum number of IOC's a CA client application could
simultaneously communicate with. The error code ECA_MAXIOC 
was returned when a client attempted to exceed this limit.This
restriction was removed a long time ago (perhaps 5 or more 
years ago). I dont recall that ECA_MAXIOC was ever, in any 
past or present versions of the CA client lib, returned from 
ca_task_initialize().
