Hello,

i think the used kernel have some influence to this. In my latest setup with
kernel 2.4.20/2.4.21 i have the same "problem" with "ZDF" in transfer-mode
(i have setup ZDF for testings to transfermode, to see if my second card
could receive or not (crashed)).

I will test it this afternoon with a higher buffer size to see if it is the
same problem.

Greetings
