I could get the sscan record to avoid posting PV's that contain
NaN's, but I have a lot of other stuff that also gets plotted,
and that also can post NaN's, so my plan is to sit tight until
we know whether/when MEDM will be fixed.

MEDM crashes if I open scan_full.adl, execute an sscan scan which
produces large detector values for the first detector, wait for it to
complete, and then open scanDetPlot.adl by clicking on the 01 button in
the Detectors section and choosing "Plot Array".  Attached is a GDB
stack trace in case it is useful.

To reproduce this, load an sscan scan.db database like this

   dbLoadRecords("$(SSCAN)/sscanApp/Db/scan.db",\
     "P=ioc23:,MAXPTS1=8000,MAXPTS2=1000,MAXPTS3=10,MAXPTS4=10,\
     MAXPTSH=8000")

, and load this record

   record(ai, "ioc23:BigNumber") {
     field(VAL, "1e38")
     field(PINI, "YES")
   }

into an IOC.

Open the scan_full.adl screen with MEDM:

medm -x -macro 'P=ioc23:,N=1,S=scan1' scan_full.adl

In the Positioners section, enter "time" in the Read field and 1.0 in
the "STEP SIZE" field (which should set the number of points to 1).

In the Detectors section, enter "ioc23:BigNumber" in the 01 detector field.

Click the SCAN button to execute the scan.

Click the 01 detector button and choose "Plot Array".  MEDM will crash.
  Choosing "Plot From Scalars" will also make it crash.

Maybe this has something to do w/ how the large double gets converted
into a float??

Environment:

* RHEL 5.5 or Mac OS X 10.5.8
* EPICS host architecture of darwin-x86 or linux-x86_64
* EPICS Base 3.14.11 (+ Known Problems patches)
* synApps 5.5 (+ asyn 4-13-1, autosave 4-7, mca 6-12-1)
* MEDM 3.1.4

Thanks,

Lewis
