[vdr] Troubles with EPG on AMD64 (native 64bits)

[Andi Wundsam <l-vdrlist@wundsam.net>]

Hi everybody,

I have recently tried switcing over my Athlon64-based video server to 
native 64 bits mode, using SuSE 9.0 for AMD64. The good news is that the 
dvb drivers and vdr work pretty stable, even critical actions like 
zapping through the channels wildly didn't cause the system to hang.

What does not work, though, is the EPG (it stays empty all the time.) 
More strangly, when using an epg.data from another server with similar 
configuration, the file is read, but "LSTE" still shows nothing. On the 
next dump, the file is replaced with an empty EPG with 57 bytes. Syslog 
messages on "-l 3" show nothing abnormal (to my eye).

Has anyone witnessed the same phenomenon (or does anyone run vdr 
successfully) on AMD64? Or can any of you insiders give me a hint on how 
to focus the problem more precisly (Critical methods in the source et. 
al.)?

Thanks in advance

Andi Wundsam
