But Forgot to add that if I remove epg.data or truncate it to zero before starting vdr the problem goes reproducibly away, on 2 different machines. Hence my question "is there a way to safely truncate epg.data to a certain (safe) length". I'll try some measurements asap, i.e. which epg.data sizes make vdr crash (?). --
