I haven't checked the logs, yet - but since upgrading from ct'vdr 1.2.2 to 
1.2.6 I often had DXR3 crashes when using the OSD. This happens reproduceable 
when I call the OSD within the first minutes after starting VDR. While use it 
happens sporadically, especially when switching between OSD table fastly 
(e.g. being in Timer-menu and pressing the macro key for Recordings-menu, 
which means the OSD is closed and reopened very fast).

I thougt I broke something myself, but as it seems you have such problems, 
too. The interesting is that VDR doesn't recover from such a crash. It seems 
VDR doesn't detect it.
