Note: this Problem is present at least since 2.0.12.
Note also: standard CA thread priorities hide this problem, so the
symptoms do not appear on VxWorks and RTEMS; they appear only if
epics thread priorities are reversed (or ignored, as is typically
the case for soft IOCs running in user mode on Linux or Windows).
The latest snapshot has this bug fixed.
* In safe mode, if a variable is monitored and sync'ed, it can
happen that an event is detected with efTestAndClear
but the underlying variable still has the old value.
You should avoid using efTestAndClear together with conditions
that test the value of the underlying variable; this may lead
to an apparently "lost event", i.e. the event flag gets cleared
but no state transition happens. Instead use efTest, and
clear the flag in the action block only after you have actually
got the new value.
A fix for this problem will appear in 2.1.6.
