I thought this STAT==UDF alarm stuff was the reason some records were
changed to allow their UDF field to be specified at DCT time.  But we've
also seen a record with UDF==0 specified in the database *still* come
up with STAT==UDF.  I can't think of a use for this behavior.  How about
if init_record() were to set STAT/SEVR="NO_ALARM" if it saw that UDF==0?


And why not setting PINI=Yes to say this record is processed and ready to use and keep the one thing for all records in mind that: a record is undefined and invalid until it is processed! This behaviour is neccessary for all records with hardware access and to start all records this way keeps from beeing puzzled about what state any particular record should be have after the start of an ioc because it is UDF INVALID.
