I can confirm this also. As higher the section filter load is, as higher is
the "chance" to vanish the OSD.

The older ci-cam firmware is more stable with higher load section filter,
but with this it happend also...

With the newest CVS it is possible to do section filtering via
software-filter, i have tested this yesterday, and this *is* much more
realiable then hardware section filtering at the moment.
