i know, i read that thread.

but that seemed to be to cruel, since checking my syslog's
showed that this error also occours under other
circumstances, and not always breaks a recording, so a counter
and a time delta are good to have.

i should look at other patches which incorporated counter-loops
to restart vdr, and adopt that to remux.c, but that needs time..

Regards Onno
