in the case of muggle: There is a menu entry in the muggle setup which
starts a thread importing tracks. This thread shows status messages
like "Imported 1000 item". When the OSD times out while such a status
message is displayed, segfault.

So will that importing thread have to pass the message to vdr through
port 2001 or is there an easier way?

from cInterface::GetKey():
     if (!Skins.IsOpen()) {
        char *message = SVDRP->GetMessage();
        if (message) {
           Skins.Message(mtInfo, message);
           free(message);
        }
