We are using the Allen Bradley DF1 serial device support for the
Gemini Enclosure Control System.   On booting the IOC we are getting
the following error message at least one in three times.......

iocInit "./data/resource.def"
############################################################################
###  @(#)EPICS IOC CORE
###  @(#)Version R3.12.2Gem4.1
############################################################################
task: 0Xfaabb8 tShell
Error status (module 1001, number 3) not in symbol table
Unable to install AB serial word IO
0xfaabb8 (tShell): iocInit: All initialization complete
value = 0 = 0x0

Only a re-boot (and the usual graphic expletives) allows us to proceed.
This has been a regular occurrence since we received the initial copy of the
device support code.   We have loaded databases with only AbDf1 records
to try and eliminate possible intractions but get the same results.

Has anyone else experienced this problem and, even better, found
a solution???
