Yes, 100%.
It was created by vdr using a timers.conf entry created by epg2timers, though.

I have several old recordings with summary files like this that hang vdr.

OK.
I guess I should go though all my summary.vdr files then
and check whether the second and fourth line is blank.

Of course my point is that VDR should never hang when
reading a file that it has created itself.
Would you like me to create a patch this weekend that
fixes this?
