Could it be that "Master Timer" clears the timer list and doesn't reload it?
I can hardly imagine that VDR itself would lose all its timers. When writing
the timers.conf file it uses cSafeFile to make sure the original file is not
touched until the new file is written, and finally it renames the temporary
file to the original name.
