Hello,
I'm seeing an EIT related crash of VDR 2.0.6 every now and then, no idea if there's a way to trigger it on demand somehow nor do I know when exactly it happens; I just sometimes find a core file for it. gdb backtrace attached, my VDR is quite a patched one (the one from Fedora) but the line numbers appear to make sense for vanilla 2.0.6 too.

The only explanation I can think of is that some other thread is accessing the global 'Schedules' list after releasing its SchedulesLock. Are there any EPG related plugins in use?

Yes, epgsearch 1.0.1beta5 and epgfixer 0.3.1. FWIW, none of the patches I have touch eit*.[hc] or epg.[hc].

Well, maybe epgsearch or epgfixer is messing something up? Does the problem happen if these plugins are not in use?

It happens so rarely that it's most likely very hard to tell. I'll give it a shot without epgfixer but epgsearch is such an essential feature for this box that I don't think I'll be trying without it any time soon. I skimmed through both epgfixer and epgsearch sources quickly but didn't notice an obvious unlocked schedules access; it's entirely possible that I missed something though.

I will go through the source of epgfixer thoroughly to see if any unlocked access to schedules can be found.

I could not find any unlocked use of schedules in epgfixer, so it should not be the cause of problems. There is actually only one situation where schedules are modified and that happens only if epg data is cloned.

Thanks, I found out that running without epgfixer for a long time wasn't really an option.
In the meantime, the third plugin I have that deals with EPG is live which I haven't really used. Will try without it but I'm already certain that if live is to blame, it's not something related to its interactive use but some background task if it has any.
