It would appear that Pro-7 and friends has changed something in the EPG data,
which causes the EIT scanner/parser to crash.

For an immediate workaround please insert the line

--- eit.c       2002/01/13 16:14:31     1.31
+++ eit.c       2002/01/29 09:50:57

 void cSIProcessor::SetStatus(bool On)
 {
+   return;
    LOCK_THREAD;
    schedulesMutex.Lock();
    ShutDownFilters();

in VDR/eit.c and recompile VDR. This will totally disable the EPG for the
moment, but at least the other finctionality should continue to work.

I'll look into this tonight, unless Rolf Hakenes comes up with a fix in the
EIT routines (if the problem really is in there).
