The code at line 252 is:

    status = pioPvt->pasynOctet->flush(pioPvt->octetPvt,pasynUser);

Since it appears to be getting the access violation at that line, and not in the flush() routine it suggests that something is wrong with one or more of the following pointers.
pioPvt
pioPvt->pasynOctet
pioPvt->octetPvt
pasynUser

You can probably examine these with gdb when it crashes.  If that does not work you can print their values on each call (using %p format) just before line 252 to see if one or more is NULL.

Before this crash occurred had there been device timeouts?

What’s the code at line 252 doing?  I don’t have the source for asyn 4.31 handy to check.  Aysn 4.30 has a call to to the Octet flush method there.
Is there anything else at all in this IOC?  If so, could you strip it down as far as possible to ensure that it’s not some other code corrupting the stack or something like that.  I’ve got quite a few IOCs running the MODBUS code and haven’t seen any problems.

Hi Mark,

Thanks for quick response.  Here's the output from gdb at the fault, and the output of the bt command:
