Hi- I'm trying to debug a soft IOC on a couple of solaris machines; 
on one of the machines the IOC runs OK, but on the other it starts up 
TWO copies of each sequence:

	# fbckFugu -- feedback function GUI
	seq( &fbckFugu,"STN=HB40,P=X,RING=HER,R=H,name=fbckFuguHX" )
	@(#)SEQ Version 2.0.8: Tue Aug 17 15:26:19 PDT 2004
	Spawning state program "fbckFugu", thread 4238b0: "fbckFuguHX"
	 ...
	epics> seqShow
	Program Name     Thread ID  Thread Name      SS Name

	fbckFugu         420b28     fbckFuguHX       fugu

	fbckFugu         4238b0     fbckFuguHX       fugu

I can tell they're both running because of debugging output, but you can 
see that "seq" only reports starting the second one (thread 4238b0).  On 
the other solaris machine (same code, same OS... different libs?) it only 
starts up one copy.

I've never seen this behaviour before.  Any ideas what might cause it? 
Something funny in a thread library (wouldn't that cause a lot more 
problems)??  ...?

mystified, 
Mike
