Are you implying that in 199 cases it is a vdr bug that causes
the exit? I do not think so.

I have been using vdr since June 2000
(see http://www.cadsoft.de/cgi-bin/vdr-counter.pl?action=show&number=3 ).
At times, the driver quality was so bad, that it was a matter of survival
to implement things like the emergency exit and the watchdog timer.
I was very grateful when Klaus put those features in. It helped a lot!

I believe the driver quality is a lot better today and maybe the emergency
exit and the watchdog timer are no longer matter of survival, but I find
them still useful and I have not encountered a single case in three years
of regular VDR use where VDR did a false emergency exit.

Carsten.
