ah, so can there be a fix for this? I should point out that the number 
crunching is in the libsi code, that is the only place it can be, I don't 
know what it is, perhaps it is reproduced if you don't drain your queue 
fast enough.  It appears to be a feature that has been there a very long 
time.  It is related to section filters I know, because it only crashes 
now when watching a channel on the "EPG" or "EEPG" transponders, if you 
will allow me to use the term loosely.  I can comment out the AddFilter 
directives and do not see the arm crashes.  Once the arm DOES crash, it 
reboots all right but does not resume feeding the PIDs, it would appear 
you have to do that in the application.  At any rate, it is not pleasing 
to have to wait for the arm to reload.

Can you reproduce this yourself?
