I think the same thing happens resp. happened here on my box... VDR 1.3.6,
DVB 08-11-2003, Gentoo Linux (kernel 2.4.20r7), no major changes and had
been running stable for weeks:

Apr  2 16:26:03 vdr vdr[1270]: channel 4 (SAT.1) event 16:00 'Richter Hold'
status 4
Apr  2 16:26:09 vdr vdr[1270]: changing transponder data of channel 4000
from S19.2E:12070:h:27500:3 to S19.2E:12460:h:27500:3
Apr  2 16:26:09 vdr vdr[1270]: changing transponder data of channel 4020
from S19.2E:12070:h:27500:3 to S19.2E:12460:h:27500:3
Apr  2 16:26:09 vdr vdr[1270]: changing transponder data of channel 4021
from S19.2E:12070:h:27500:3 to S19.2E:12460:h:27500:3
Apr  2 16:26:56 vdr su(pam_unix)[1258]: session closed for user root

^ VDR was running as root and 'disappeared' at that point. My debugging
skills are virtually non-existant, so I simply removed those channels from
the channel list but that didn't really help. I guess the EPG scan or
autopid features might still be finding/accessing the (presumably) wonky
channels/transponders/?
I've reverted to version 1.3.4 which seems to be unaffected by this (so
far).
