Most probably the problem is for sprintf functions I have used,although I have changed it by snprintf,however not sure. There is no specific reason for using the old base and asyn.The old application were built using that and the same thing has been installed in new OS. I will run the IOC under gdb and let you know,but if I use the latest asyn and base will I get rid of this  problem?I am not sure!!

You should either run your IOC under gdb, or enable core dumps (limit or ulimit commands in shell) and run gdb on the core dump. Is there a reason you are running such an old version of EPICS and asyn?  asyn R4-4 is almost 5 years old, and lots of improvements have been done since then.

The Ioc runs succesfuly,however, if I process some PV,it terminates and shows the following error: *** buffer overflow detected ***: ./ioc terminated  google search says: In Ubuntu 8.10 and later versions, -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 is set by default, and is activated when -O is set to 2 or higher. This enables additional compile-time and run-time checks for several libc functions. To disable, specify either -U_FORTIFY_SOURCE or -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=0. Please mention where do I specify it or please give me other possible solution. Thanking You, Tanushyam
