[vdr] Re: [linux-dvb] lockups with NEWSTRUCT

[jhall@UU.NET (Jeremy Hall)]

I picked up the new commit in NEWSTRUCT branch and same as after applying
the initialization fix.

VDR works for about 10 - 20 minutes, then the computer locks and the
Hauppauge DVB/S card continues to decode the MPEG stream until reset or
power is pressed on the computer.  Suggestions are welcome.
