[vdr] [possible Bug] vdr 1.3.x and NPTL enabled Linux (glibc)

[a.share@t-online.de (Andreas Share)]

Hi,

i have the last day愀 tried to install vdr 1.3.6 under MDK 10.0 and have
encountered some problems caused by the using of NPTL enabled glibc
libraries (libpthread).

First at all, the RCU expansion doesen愒 work anymore. Starting vdr with
REMOTE=RCU causes an imediadly "hang". vdr run, but takes up to 95% cpu
time, and the rcu respond-time goes up to several minutes.

Without RCU vdr will work, but it will use only one PID for all threats, and
i have seen some additional "hangs" at runtime, caused, i think, by
epg-scan.


Workaround for the moment: disabling NPTL libraries by (re)moving following
dirs out from /lib...

/lib/i686
/lib/tls

Maybe someone with NPTL skills can take a look over the vdr source....

Greetings

Andreas
