example server array PV 'alan' does not have time stamps

[Jeff Hill]

From Kay Kasemir

> I just found that "excas" under R3.14.6 & R3.14.7
> still serves the array PV "alan", but neither the archiver
> nor the "camonitor" program that comes with EPICS base
> get a valid time stamp for that PV.
> The other PVs (fred, janet, ..) do include valid PVs.
> Tried on Linux (14.6 ane 7) and darwin (14.6 only).

From Janet:

I used makeBaseApp.pl in R3.14.7 to create the caServer
example application. It built and executes without
problems (no command line parameters) but when I do
a camonitor on the pvs I do not get valid timestamps.
his happens with both the camonitor from base and
extensions.

alan is an array - I see that the example server code
exVectorPV.cc does not update the time stamp

fixed in R3.14.8
