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

[jhall@UU.NET (Jeremy Hall)]

oh yeah, a BEAUTIFUL lockup!

When the timer started, it was perfectly synchronized btw, image on the
screen froze, vdr seemed to get really sluggish, then exited with
segmentation fault.

Next, I tried to restart vdr, and then the machine locked up.

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.
