Hi Mark,

I am running a test soft IOC which reads from a handful of Beckhoff modules.  Just recently it started to crash with segmentation fault.  Here is some of the gdb output looking at the core dump file:

Loaded symbols for /lib/libnss_files.so.2

Core was generated by `../../bin/linux-x86/bkh ./st.cmd'.

Program terminated with signal 11, Segmentation fault.

Before the crash this was printed in the console:

epics> 2011/11/09 05:34:58.852 drvModbusAsyn::doModbusIO port BKH3_3408 error calling writeRead, error=192.168.0.193:502 timeout: Resource temporarily unavailable, nwrite=6/6, nread=0

Segmentation fault (core dumped)

I think that this started when I connected a prosilica camera to the same network hub, a private subnet (192.168.0.x).

The camera is running continuously sending image data at 10 frames/s.

At this point I am not sure, how long it runs before crash.

I will let you know if I discover anything new.

Thanks,
