I'm running 1.3.6 with the patch from above, and also

which I can't imagine that it would cause what you're observing.
VDR runs very stable here.

I haven't released a new version with these modifications yet, because
I have opened a large field of changes with redesigning the OSD stuff,
so it will still take a while before version 1.3.7.
