Subject: sseq link problem on Linux

Hi all,

I recently encountered an interesting problem when moving an IOC from
vxWorks to Linux (RedHat).  The database contains a number of sseq
records with CP input links to pull across some data from another IOC.
This happens whenever one of the links changes, but also when the IOC
boots up for the first time.  This worked fine on vxWorks, but on Linux
the links do not get updated when the IOC boots up.  It's not just an
occasional failure, it just never worked.  I changed the sseq records to
transforms and it now works fine.  In both cases I had PINI=YES.

I'm really interested in inter-IOC link problems in general as we seem
to suffer from a lot, but this is a nicely reproducible problem that I
thought someone might be able to shed light on...?
