[vdr] cTS2PES::write_ipack infinite recursion

Hello,
VDR (1.6.0-2) crashed after stuffing the syslog with:
vdr: [24126] ERROR: possible result buffer overflow, dropped 13 out of
13 byte
vdr: [24126] ERROR: possible result buffer overflow, dropped 2048 out of
2048 byte
A backtrace shows that the function cTS2PES::write_ipack (initially
called from cTS2PES::instant_repack with Count=184) kept calling itself
(from then on with Count=180 and the same "Data" pointer all the time).
The variable "bite" was 4 on the first call and then 0 on all succeeding
ones.
It was a video pid being extracted, so the cVideoRepacker got called,
and I suspect its "breakAt" return value lead to the "// should never
happen" code that set "bite" to 0.
Some state information from the cTS2PES instance:
pid=1023 size=2052 found=2200 count=2052
cid=224 rewriteCid=224 subStreamId=0
plength=4194234 plen[0]=98 plen[1]=124 flag1=flag2=0 hlength=0 mpeg=0
check=0 mpeg1_required=mpeg1_stuffing=0
done=true
tsErrors=2020124 ccErrors=697951
ccCounter=8
The high error counts obviously show that the received data (from DVB-S)
was somehow defective (There were many "PES packet shortened" errors
earlier), but ideally VDR shouldn't crash even when the data is broken...
Can anyone please fix this issue?
Greetings,
Andreas
