Hello,
I've started experiencing some weird crashes right after my VDR box boots. The crash occurs when reading channels.conf, but not on every reboot. VDR starts up automatically, and if it starts crashing while reading channels.conf, no restarts appear to work, another reboot is needed. On the next reboot, channels.conf is unchanged but the crash may no longer occur.
This is on Fedora 8 i386, VDR 1.4.7 with a bunch of patches and plugins. There's only one patch affecting channels.c but I don't see how it could have anything to do with the crash.
Backtrace attached; line 752 in my channels.c is while ((q = strtok_r(p, ",", &strtok_next)) != NULL) { (the one for the apids loop)
I'm pretty certain this was triggered by a hardware problem in my box, after making some changes I haven't seen it in a while.
