Bug Description
http://
Kay pointed out that an alarm monitor on a non-VAL field (such as ai.LOW) never receives updates when the record's alarm status or severity changes. There is provision in the code for db_post_events() to allow callers to specify NULL for the pField pointer to send such updates, but none of the standard record types currently make use of that.
Note, the fix for this is *not* to just add another call to db_post_
