Be careful when loading new software on a PowerPC. On the mv1xx iocs,
the loader would stop at an undefined symbol. On the PowerPCs, the
loader will continue valiantly on even with undefined symbols. Please
remember to watch each load carefully the first time software is loaded
on a PowerPC and each time any software is modified on a PowerPC ioc so
any undefined symbols will be seen before ops tries to use new software.
I have added this information to the PowerPC Upgrade guide but we need
to remember it beyond the upgrade phase.
