[vdr] NPTL with vdr-1.3.15 may be causing problems

["C.Y.M" <syphir@syphir.sytes.net>]

I have been using NPTL without any apparent major problems since VDR 
recently began enabling support for it.  VDR (1.3.14) seemed to be able 
to handle NPTL except I did notice that there were a few "ERROR: thread 
%ld won't end (waited %d seconds) - cancelling it..." errors in the logs 
once in a while.  But, since I have been using vdr-1.3.15, it seems to 
crash (sometimes) when NPTL is enabled and a timer goes off to record. I 
know I have mentioned this already in several mail threads with 
"questionable" topics, but perhaps NPTL has something to do with my 
"ERROR: video data stream broken" errors.  I have now disabled NPTL and 
I am waiting to see if that fixes the problems I am having with timers 
crashing VDR.  Perhaps this is why Klaus does not see any problems 
because he is not testing it with NPTL enabled.  VDR (1.3.15) with NPTL 
disabled has been running now for 12 hours with out crashing and with 
one successfull timed recording.  I do not know if this is the actual 
cause of the problem, but it seems to be the only major difference 
between my test scenario and Klaus'.

BTW, there is a spelling error in thread.c:
