+<h3>dbGetLink and dbPutLink</h3>
+<p>A bug in dbGetLink resulted in nRequest not being given the value 0 if the
+link is a constant link. This in turn caused the waveform record to always
+set NORD=NELEM. Thus if an application trys to write a waveform via the
+steps:</p>
+<pre>    prset-&gt;get_array_info(paddr,&amp;no_elements,&amp;offset);
+    write nNew elements into array &gt;&gt;
+    prset-&gt;put_array_info(paddr,nNew);</pre>
+
+<p>This sets NORD = nNew. But because of the dbGetLink bug, the soft device
+support attached to the waveform record sets NORD to NELM.</p>
+<p>This problem is fixed. The actual bug was in macros in dbAccess.h</p>
