This points to the problem being a bug in the local interface between the CA 
client library and the IOC server -- there is a special interface that the 
client uses when it's running in the same process as the IOC to access local 
channels.  That puts the issue in Jeff Hill's area of responsibility.  He may 
not have been following your previous posts, so could you summarize the bug 
that you're seeing and explain how to replicate it as simply as possible, 
he'll then be able to look further when he has the time to do so.

Thanks,

- Andrew
