This seems to be caused by vdr getting stuck in a flush... an OSD 
bitmap move.  From past experience, this happens when OSD memory is 
overtaxed.  Since it worked before this driver switch, I'm guessing 
the new driver puts more pressure on OSD memory.

I've removed flush's call to "cmd", and the hang goes away.

If I kill vtr, then the flicker goes away.

Note: I've upgraded to SuSE 7.2 (frst copy I've seen in the US), and 
the 2.4.4 kernel.  I'm only running with one change to DVB driver 
source... the  "dvb->vidmode=VIDEO_MODE_NTSC;" in dvb.c.
