Hi Andrew,

I found a problem with fix-907761.patch today. In src/db/dbConvert.c, functions getCharChar and getCharUchar the code now evaluates paddr->pfldDes->field_type but it does not check if the fields are set. There is code in base that calls this cunfion without setting paddr->pfldDes. Thus dereferencing this field crashes the IOC.

It is called like this for example from dbCaGetLink through the aConvert pointer.
