[vdr] Re: [ANNOUNCE] yaepg-0.0.2

Sorry for the toppost...

I have just done some gdb debugging and Michael's problem is the same as
mine:

yaepg does not cope well with separators in the channel list.

It works when drawing the list, but not if it trys to start drawing with
a non-existant channel etc.

I have 'fixed' it by changing
	c = Channels.GetByNumber(i);
TO
	c = Channels.GetByNumber(i,1);
At line 1443 (Show) and 1806 (ChangeChan) of yaepg.c.

I don't think this is final as I cannot see all my channels, but at
least the segfault is gone now!

(Michael's channels.conf is a lot like mine: we are both in Australia,
start our numbering at 2, have our next channel as 7 etc)
