Hi Andrew and Dirk,
We do allow puts through the PV gateways on Linux-x86 (ctlapps4l),
Solaris-x86 (User gateways), and Solaris-sparc (rhea) which are all
built against EPICS 3.14.11
I have had some of them running since March, April, and June since we
have about 40 gateways. I have not seen any widespread problems with them.

Can you try running the gateway process under gdb, to see if that
catches anything when it dies?

Our ctlapps4l gateway built with 3.14.11 on Linux has apparently been
running continuously since March 18th. We don't normally allow puts
through that gateway though, so you could be exercising parts of the
code that we don't use here.
