The patch was originally suggested by "atinar" at

  http://www.vdr-portal.de/board/thread.php?postid=920661#post920661

and I adopted it with a suggestion from "Urig".
Looks like nobody tested the patch in

  http://www.vdr-portal.de/board/thread.php?postid=936545#post936545

otherwise this malfunction might have been detected earlier ;-)

Unless "atinar" or somebody else comes up with a fixed version
of this patch, I'll simply revert to the previous version.
