Hello Jeff,

I still see the same seg violation. Doing a back trace on the stack seems
to show a low level problem from which I can make out much. Here is the
output in case you have an idea why it failed on something pretty basic.

Both of you are right; I probably do not need two connection handlers for
my application.

Just for the record I compiled it with
gcc -g -Wall connection.c -o connection -L$EPICS/base/lib/Linux -lca -lCom
-lm -I$EPICS/base/include

with R3.13.4 and rh 7.0

Thanks,
Adam
