Never seen that, does this also happen with a vanilla VDR and
bitstreamout as the only plugin?
Do you have seen something like:

     shm_free pointer 0x........ not found in alloc space

within /var/log/messages?  IMHO you can ignore this message.
If this is not the message I'd like to know to which tool/lib this
new message belongs to ... this because I've never seen such a
message.

In other words this is something like a leak.

Hmmm ... the manual page I've written says:

       -o, --onoff
              to enable an control entry in the main menu of  VDR
              to  change  the  values  of the plugin.  An further
              menu is available under the main  configuration  at
              point plugins.  On or Off.

... I do not use this menu and the new extensions written by
Sven ;^)

Which gcc/glibc/kernel(and its patches) is used ...
