In fact, when I tune my twinhan card, I do a 'szap szap -r -x ...'.

Which means that the thead created in the function patched by Andrew
(dvb_frontend_thread) is no longer active (I've verified this by
adding traces to the dvb_frontend_thread state machine):

Jun  8 15:06:55 gandalf kernel: dvb_frontend_thread: retune state
Jun  8 15:06:55 gandalf kernel: dvb_frontend_thread: retune -> tuning fast
Jun  8 15:06:56 gandalf kernel: dvb_frontend_thread: waiting_for_lock -> tuned
Jun  8 15:06:57 gandalf kernel: dvb_frontend_thread: tuned
Jun  8 15:06:58 gandalf kernel: dvb_frontend_thread: tuned
Jun  8 15:06:58 gandalf kernel: dvb_frontend_thread: tuned
Jun  8 15:06:58 gandalf kernel: dvb_frontend_thread: tuned
Jun  8 15:06:58 gandalf kernel: dvb_frontend_thread: tuned
Jun  8 15:06:58 gandalf kernel: dvb_frontend_thread: tuned
Jun  8 15:06:59 gandalf kernel: dvb_frontend_thread: tuned
Jun  8 15:06:59 gandalf kernel: dvb_frontend_thread: tuned
Jun  8 15:07:00 gandalf kernel: dvb_frontend_thread: tuned
Jun  8 15:07:01 gandalf kernel: dvb_frontend_thread: tuned
Jun  8 15:07:01 gandalf kernel: dvb_frontend_thread: exiting

Besides, when decryption fails, data is still flowing from the dvb
card so I don't think that a lock problem triggers the decryption
failure.

Cheers
