Duh. I forgot to include that we have EDM 1-10-2 linked against EPICS
3.13.2.0.

We are in the process of converting our control room machines from HP-UX
11.11 to RedHat Enterprise Linux (rhel) 4WS. Most things seem to be
working fine, but an odd problem has cropped up with EDM that we did not
have on HP-UX.
Every now and then an EDM display will simply stop showing any updates
to the PV's. Closing and re-opening the display gets it working again.
Writes from the screen to the ioc's seem to work normally.
Has anybody else experienced a problem like this?
We are using EDM 1-10-2 on rhel 4WS (Nahant Update 5). This is the same
version we have bee using on HP-UX with no problems.
Our operators love how zippy EDM runs on their new Linux boxes compared
to the ancient HP hardware, but this is really denting their enthusiasm.
Thanks,
