I have teseted quite heavily this scanning script with
dvbstream (used timeout 1 sec to browse channels
on astr. 19.2E), but so far I could not see any
lockings. I tried it many times and everything seems 
working well for me.

I am aware that there are many imcompleteness in the 
code and many bugs around and too few developers 
to clean them all at once. You should have to catch the 
kernel oops dump in order to localize the problem.

BTW do you maybe have in kernel compiled this:

SMP (2 or more CPUs or hyperthreaded CPU support)
APIC support
ACPI support
HIGH memory support (support for 4G or 64G RAM)

Those should not be set.
