Yes.

The burn-in test used a Caldera-DOS and I checked with Win2k for a week (see 
my other mail).

I did a lot of tests, but it's not easy to say what the reason is as the 
segfaults and crashes were sporadic - sometimes after ten minutes, sometimes 
after ten hours. But if I remind well they didn't occour before installing 
DVB-driver/VDR. But they definitely happened while VDR wasn't running, too.

So it really might be the DMA-problem of the driver. I'm going to install the 
new one when my Debian-system is completely up and running.

MDK has been erased ;o)

I'll check with Debian, now.
