[vdr] Vdr+dxr3+kernel 2.6.3 crashes

[Seppo Ingalsuo <seppo.ingalsuo@iki.fi>]

Hi,

I have had problems with new CVS em8300 drivers and vdr so I thought it
is worth to try bleeding edge development :^)

I'm now able to run vdr 1.2.6 on Linux 2.6.3. Dvb-kernel and LCDproc are
ok as such, Lirc works after finding a suitable kernel patch, em8300 CVS
required two patches to compile with new kernel (posted to dxdr3-devel
list: em8300-cvs_hs+nb.patch.gz and em8300-2.6-update.patch.gz).
Vdr-Dxr3 plugin is the latest one (0.2.2).

Channel zapping is now faster than ever but I don't if it is thanks to
dvb-kernel or new em8300 stuff.

The problem is that vdr dumps now core always when skipping recordings
with green and yellow keys or in fast playback (<< or >>). Where for a
core dump shows

(gdb) where
#0  0x0807bb83 in cDvbPlayer::Action() (this=0x83d8610) at
ringbuffer.h:92
#1  0x080aa708 in cThread::StartThread(cThread*) (Thread=0x83d861c) at
thread.c:143
#2  0x40044974 in start_thread () from /lib/tls/libpthread.so.0
#3  0x083d899c in ?? ()

System log output for vdr and dxr3 plugin shows nothing exceptional.
There are some em8300 driver messages jush before crash (happened
18:39:39)

Has anyone else seen something like this? Mplayer works fine with this
setup.
