Do you use C++ in any of the other code you are running on vxWorks?  If
EPICS 

is the only source of C++ code in your system then your build system may
not 

be properly handling the initialization code for C++ static constructors
and 

destructors, which is what the munch process is for.  This is documented
by 

Wind River in their VxWorks Kernel Programmers Guide; for vxWorks 6.3 see

section 11.5 "Downloadable Kernel C++ Modules".

I don't have access to vxWorks 6.3, and I don't think any binary I build
using 

either vxWorks 5.5.2 or 6.8 would work properly on your version.  You
will 

have to build EPICS Base yourself using our build system.  You can
find 

instructions on the tools you need to do that on Windows at
