IMHO a _crash_ is when the program exits uncontrolled, as
in a segfault or something the like, probably causing a core
dump in the process.

In your case the program ended _controlled_, with an error message.

I just want to keep this clearly apart because a real _crash_
is something that would need to be debugged.

If a scan tool creates correct data, (according to vdr.5)
everything is fine. Generating channel data with NID=1 and
TID=0 was a bug in the scan tool.

As stated in vdr.5 ;-)
