I'm using Asyn 4-21 and StreamDevice 2-6, working with a device that uses
serial I/O to send a periodic, unsolicited string which does not have a
terminating character.

The string contains 3 data fields, so I have 3 records using the same INP,
all set to I/O Event scanning.

It works for a few minutes after starting the IOC, but eventually it gets
stuck.  The records stop updating and "Characters read" from asynReport
stops increasing.  Packet inspection with Wireshark shows that the device
is still sending data.

After this happens, the "synchronousLock" field in asynReport is always
"Yes".

Is there a document that shows how to use asynTrace effectively ?  The
asynDriver and asynRecord docs don't explain very much about it.
