Hi,
I use Epics 3.14.8 for my application. I recently got rid of two of my
sequencer programs due to various optimizations. But I still had a

"registrar" statement in my dbd file, now for a module that no longer
existed.
After booting the IOC (with vxWorks 5.4.2) I got this error:
(various boot messages ...)
dbLoadDatabase("../../dbd/idcp.dbd")

value = 0 = 0x0

idcp_registerRecordDeviceDriver(pdbbase)

0x1d32988 (tShell): memPartAlloc: block too big - 30544640 in partition
0x20493c.

0x1d32988 (tShell): Unhandled C++ exception resulted in call to terminate
I verified that any "registrar" statement for a non-existing module
produces this error. But if you see this on the IOC console you have no
idea whats wrong with your program. An error message like "invalid
registrar [registrar-name]" would be much better.
Does the newest Epics release still show this behavior and if it is so,
are any plans to fix this ?
Greetings,
 Goetz Pfeiffer
