This is the 'golden patch' to make things working perfectly, even on my
outdated P200. Before this I had to set 'max_summary = 170' in
epg2timers to (mostly) avoid the annoying timeouts by loadvdr.pl. I did
some heavy testing to verify that there are no more timeouts, even with
the max setting of 9000. Thanks for the patch and to Manfred for the
tip.
