[vdr] NPTL causes crashes during playback [Was 1.3.27 with NPTL: always crashes at shutdown]

1.3.27 doesn't seem quite NPTL ready, it always crashes at shutdown here on Fedora Core 4 (IIRC also on FC3 and 1.3.2x the last time I tried). No such problems when setting LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.1. The backtrace I'm able to obtain looks pretty much useless, but always practically the same, here goes anyway:

VDR (1.3.27) has recently been crashing frequently during playback of recordings. First sign is that VDR stops responding to remote control (ie no OSD on remote press) then shortly afterwards VDR crashes.

I am running an uptodate system ( Debian SID, kernel 2.6.12-mm2, em8300 cvs, vdr-dxr3-0.2.3-cvs20050622 )

Setting LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.1 seems to have fixed the problem.
