Please try the more recent VDR 0.80pre5. I have done some
work on the buffering there.

This is probably because of a lock that is set when the Schedules menu
is opened. During that time the EIT processor doesn't read any data
from the dmx device, and so there is a buffer overflow. I will have
to change the locking mechanism in order to avoid this. For the moment
I guess this can be ignored, because it is only the EIT buffer that
overflows, and that data will pass by again later.
