Hi Brian,
Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner about this.  I was in the middle
of fighting fires.  If you have been answered already, please ignore
this message.
I guess I am as close as anyone to supporting e2sr. The program
e2db becomes e2sr and creates a .sr file instead of a .db file 
if you rename it e2sr.   The newest
code for e2db is obtainable from APS through software distribution -> releases->
Extensions under the heading 
	" 7. CAPFAST Source for Capfast extensions."
(the web address is http://epics.aps.anl.gov/xfd/SoftDist/extensio.htm)
You need the EPICs user name and password to get this code.
As far as the version goes, it is essentially the same as what Matt Needes left,
except some people have sent in bug fixes which I have incorporated. I
did not change the hardcoded version number, so what you have may be
older than what is being distributed from APS. I don't
know whether they would fix the problem that you are seeing.
If you would like to send me one of the offending schematics, I would be glad
to try it.
