Well, simply change cThread::EmergencyExit() to

bool cThread::EmergencyExit(bool Request)
{
  if (!Request)
     return emergencyExitRequested;
  esyslog("initiating emergency exit");
  return false; // <--------- insert this line
  return emergencyExitRequested = true; // yes, it's an assignment, not a comparison!
}

That way you'll still see when VDR would have requested an emergency
exit, but won't let it actually do it.

Let's know the outcome.
