Hello,
i'm new on this list and my English is not the best...
I'm using VDR 1.7 headless on a FreeBSD machine. Interaction with
this vdr server is done via vdr-sfxe from the xineliboutput plugin.
I never have any problem during other actions with the remote VDR
(recording, viewing, place cutting marks,...) _exept_ when i start
the cutting procedere itself with the keyboard shortcut "2".
Most times (> 95%) the remote vdr segfaults immidiatly. The file
structure is still created (%foobar ff.). In the few times when it
not segfaults then the cutting is done well without problems.
I have contacted the FreeBSD maintainer of the vdr port and he
advised to do a gdb backtrace on the generated coredump file. After
seeing the backtrace he has no solution and told me to post better
here on the list.
I attach the gdb backtrace output with this mail (i hope the
mailinglist allow attached file). Maybe you have a solution and/or
an idea how to solve this. Of course i could do further tests or
debugging, the segfault is well to reproduce here ;-)
Sometimes (but not so often and reproducable), when the cutting
process/thread is not segfaulting, i got also an dying vdr process
with signal 10 (bus error). That's when i use "backspace" to close
the well cutted recording, normally it would go back to the current
TV channel. Don't know if this is in some relation with the
segfault/signal 11 I often have. This rare error i also got only
during the cutting procedere, i could never reproduce it during
watching TV or recordings.

-------------------------
>From my low experience (I'm not a C developer) i think it could be a thread
timing problem, maybe FreeBSD special and in relation with the ZFS filesystem.
Suspicios is IMHO that an error occurs only in the cutting procedere.
So, do you smell antyhing like a bug or similar ;-) Any ideas what i could do
or test/debug to get rid off this error?
Regards and TIA
Gerhard
