Today vdr was rebooted by watchdog ( set to 10 seconds ) several times.
In /var/log/messages I found the following:

After I deleted the file /video/.lock-vdr manually the problem was gone.
Any ideas what is the reason for that "ERROR: attempt to unlock 
/video/.lock-vdr without holding a lock!"
Bye
