Good question... I never had timers that also stop immediately. They always started late 
and also stopped late. Klaus... can this be a timer-priority-issue? What's the default-
behaviour when two timers with the same priority collide? Which one wins, the first or the 
last?

If you were NOT using the watchdog, I'd say that vdr got stuck somewhere in its main-
loop for a while and somehow got woken up (I have no idea how, but it happens after a 
while that it continues to work!), realized that the timer should be running but isn't and 
then started it. This was the case on my system... until I 'castrated' the watchdog and 
started using it :-)
