Dear folks, Autosave has a long-standing bug, in all versions since
array support was added (R4-0). If the representation of an array PV
in a .sav file is exactly 119 bytes long, boot-time restore will
process the PV twice, first correctly as an array, then as a scalar
with no data. This results in the first array element being set to zero.
A new version of autosave, in which the bug is fixed (R4-7), is
available at
http://www.aps.anl.gov/bcda/synApps/autosave/autosave.html
Thanks to Mark Rivers for finding this bug.
