I don't think so. The changes we did were just at memory allocation/free with standard glibc malloc()/calloc()/free() functions. The kind of errors Samuel are experiencing are machine freezes. dvbv5-utils can't cause such kind of errors, as it doesn't run in privileged mode, nor do anything potentially harmful. So, even the most serious issue there won't cause a machine crash. For a machine to crash, it has to be triggering a Kernel bug or some memory corruption outside its memory space (e.g. triggering some glibc bug - with also seems very unlikely). Thanks, Mauro
