[vdr] VDR 1.1.28 recording failure

[Jarkko Santala <jake@iki.fi>]

Hi,

Just experienced a nasty recording problem. I checked whether a recording
had started OK when I noticed that both 001.vdr and index.vdr were size 0.

Here's what got caught in the log:

Apr 24 20:58:00 zem vdr[325]: timer 8 start

...

After killall -TERM vdr the recording started fine (runvdr-style script).
Version numbers in use are:

Apr 24 21:17:06 zem vdr[1028]: VDR version 1.1.28 started
Apr 24 21:17:06 zem vdr[1028]: loading plugin: ./PLUGINS/lib/libvdr-mplayer.so.1.1.28
Apr 24 21:17:06 zem vdr[1028]: loading plugin: ./PLUGINS/lib/libvdr-dxr3.so.1.1.28

Any clues on what the problem is are welcome,
