Hi Stefan,

I gave it a try, as I know exactly how to produce an ARM crash on my box ;-)
Basically I don't discover any difference apart from a changed log message.
At least it does not reboot the machine.

Here it comes:

Aug 22 17:00:30 shiva vdr[2213]: probing /dev/ost/qamfe1

Aug 22 17:02:11 shiva kernel: dvb0: ARM crashed!
Aug 22 17:02:14 shiva kernel: dvb: playback 480x576 fr=3

Then it hangs as usual. Sound is coming back after I killall -9 vdr, but no 
video until I reload the driver.
The ARM crash message appeared after roughly 3 seconds of fast forward 
while the progress bar is active.
(I started vdr with -a option).
Earlier versions crashed immediately here, but possibly the crash happening 
later is due to the driver being loaded freshly.

Greetings
Stephan
