[vdr] ARM/VDR crashes when recording starts

[Thomas Keil <tk@commedia-group.com>]

Hi,

since I upgraded to RH7.3 I can't record anymore :-(

Everytime a timer starts a recording either VDR or the ARM crashes a few 
seconds afterwards.

Here's what's the log says:

What can I do?
I even opened my computer's case to cool down the DVB-Card, the result 
is the same :(
Is there a possibility to debug the thing somehow? gdb or something?
It's really quite annoying :-(

The System:
RedHat 7.3
kernel 2.4.19 (from kernel.org)
DVB siemens_dvb-0.9.4-2002-05-20 (23-06.patch gives me framedrops)
VDR 1.0.4 vanilla

All compiled with selfcompiled gcc 3.2

Any ideas?
