I can confirm that it also happens without any plugin and only my PID 
finder patch applied. The OSD colors get messed up after some time and 
the firmware is likely to crash shortly afterwards.
It appears as if filters set to the PAT and PMT pid's/sections will 
increase the likelyhood of incuring the OSD color problem.
I experimented with syncing OSD activity to the demux devices by adding 
the av7110->demux mutex to the OSD ioctl call path in the driver. It 
appears as if the color problem is harder to reproduce then, but it will 
still occure after some time.
Judging from other people's reports, it would appear as if those 
problems do not occure on all cards. I have talked to several people 
that could not reproduce these problems with the RC2 driver.

my system:

AMD Duron 1.1GHz / 128MB SDRAM
Haupauge DVB-S v1.3
# lspci -nv:
00:0f.0 Class 0480: 1131:7146 (rev 01)
        Subsystem: 13c2:0000
        Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 32, IRQ 11
        Memory at e8101000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=512]

Have fun

Andreas
