[vdr] Re: [linux-dvb] lockups with NEWSTRUCT

[jhall@UU.NET (Jeremy Hall)]

I have found it.

In eit.c, look at where a new section filter is created.  I believe we
have discussed this before, it is improper initialization of the filter, I
seem to remember something about a mode or something not being
initialized.

The recommended fix was 

memset(&sctFilterParams,0,sizeof(sctFilterParams));

instead of doing filter and mask separately.  Probably somebody long ago
copied some code from somewhere that did it this way and didn't think
about the API changes.

I do not get viruses because I do not use MS software.
If you use Outlook then please do not put my email address in your
address-book so that WHEN you get a virus it won't use my address in the
From field.
