In my debugging-session last year I find out, that there must be different
sources for UPT-errors. In my case (and as I heard from some other people),
the Old_CA_Descriptorhandling-Patch solved the UPT-problem. In those cases, vdr
<1.1.28 didn't cause the UPT-error. But as you said, you got no UPT error,
but a video data stream broken error, which is a something complete different.
In my case, I can adjust the frequency of video data stream broken errors,
when I playaround with the pci-latency. So don't mix those errors.

The restart-option in case of an UPT-error is not a solution, because if
you've bad receiption, you can get those errors too. But in that case, the
UPT-error will be solved, as soon as receiption becomes better. And if you still
want a restart, you can insert the emergency-exit and the two "{"... ;-)

@Klaus: Do you've experiences with the time you let vdr wait? What was the
lower bound on your debugging machine?

JFYI: In my case, there are no UPT-errors since applying Klaus's sensational
lines. ;)
