I was looking at using the dvb-apps when I had a hangup with atsc_epg.
This issue had been previously reported from what I found at
http://www.mail-archive.com/linux-media@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/msg44661.html
but had not been resolved from what I could tell.
Below I'm including a patch to fix the segfault on 64-bit builds and
also to improve tolerance of the fault I found when a segment was read
with a mode of '?' (don't ask me why, but I could try to give more
information if desired).
The first three changes in the patch are about using an appropriately
sized type rather than casting a pointer to a larger type; this fixes
the segfault. The last change involves nulling the title text when it
fails to parse rather than failing altogether.
Thanks,
Mike Slegeir
