If you put it that way: probably not ;-)

As I wrote "suggestions for improvement welcome", your answer is
definately an improvement, thank you very much. Calling the emergency
exit directly within remux.c (see other answer in this thread) is
still an even better solution, which I implemented right away. But of
course, no UPT happened since then ;-) (Murphy's law obviously).

Hm, I use Debian and a "apt-get install bc" did the trick.

Kind regards  Frederick
