Hi Tim,

EPICS 3.15 is trying to make it easier for an IOC to cleanly shutdown.

It add tests and better control over shutdown hooks.

Autosave, on the other hand, starts a thread - running the

save_restore() function - that is designed to never shut down.

That seems like a clear conflict of interests, that shows as frequent

error messages on shutdown:

A call to 'assert(dbLockIsInitialized)'

 by thread 'save_restore' failed in ../../../src/ioc/db/dbLock.c

line 255.

EPICS Release EPICS R3.15.0.1-DEV $$Date$$.

(Autosave trying to use cleaned-up stuff in Base.)

Do you have any thoughts on this?

Cheers,
~Ralph
