Hello,
I have a few months old system with vdr 2.0.6. VDR is used only as a backend for xbmc (via xvdr plugin).
Everything works fine except for a few lags which I tracked to VDR creating new channels every now and then. When I checked the channels I noticed there are duplicates (there are 36374 channels and many of them are there about 500 times). I wouldn't be surprised if vdr would suffer performance problem with such number of channels.
See the setup.conf (not changed in months), syslog and part of channels (got by LSTC command) and stats: https://gist.github.com/juriad/2b635ef475a6ddf829ab
Why VDR creates duplicate channels? Is there problem with my configuration or is it a bug in vdr? What other information shall I provide?
Looks like VDR doesn't find an existing channel in its Channels list when it encounters a new version of the SDT. At the moment I have no idea how that could happen.
Is this a plain vanilla, unpatched version 2.0.6 of VDR?

Yes, it is unpatched version (just checked diff againts vdr-2.0.6.tar.bz2). I tried to use gdb to see what is happening.
Anyway, the backtrace of call of method cChannels::NewChannel is: #0 cChannels::NewChannel (this=0x76b800 <Channels>, Transponder=0xf992a0, Name=Name@entry=0x7f74ce78fdf0 "CT 1 HD", ShortName=ShortName@entry=0x7f74ce790df0 "", Provider=Provider@entry=0x7f74ce791df0 "Towercom", Nid=Nid@entry=3, Tid=3234, Sid=4901, Rid=0) at channels.c:1013 #1 0x00000000004d64ee in cSdtFilter::Process (this=0xf9aa40, Pid=<optimized out>, Tid=<optimized out>, Data=<optimized out>, Length=<optimized out>) at sdt.c:105 #2 0x00000000004d727c in cSectionHandler::Action (this=0xfa41e0) at sections.c:211 #3 0x00000000004f8b23 in cThread::StartThread (Thread=0xfa41e0) at thread.c:262 #4 0x00007f74d79920a4 in start_thread (arg=0x7f74ce794700) at pthread_create.c:309 #5 0x00007f74d63acccd in clone () at ../sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/x86_64/clone.S:111
I tried to create a core-dump but gdb failed to do so.
