Please also try the new version from linuxtv.  
Right now we only use snapshot-dates as version number. There was a new
version a few days ago or check out the CVS version.

This one is too long!!!	
It is created by:

echo -n -e "\x52\x4b\xeb\x74\x00\x00\x0f\x3c\xfc\x00" > MPEG1_6.HLD
dd bs=1 if=$(SYSTEM)/KfirLib.dll skip=1449200 count=59862 >> MPEG1_6.HLD

So, the length should be 59872. 
This is most probably the cause for the lockup.

These ones look OK (length-wise at least).
