Have a bit hesitated to send this in the list, but i did'nt found a solution 
myself and i like to hear if others can reproduce it:

In short: Any OSD activity during Replay sooner or later hangs the driver.
I observed this first after upgrading the driver from 22.06. to the actual 
one, the old did'nt had this problem.
A diff shows so much changes that i could'nt track it down in the sources,
but a test with the old dvb_firm.h at the new driver made it disappear (but 
broke other things instead).

I think it is a timing problem, because it happened sooner with a 
KURT/utime-kernel, but after going back to plain 2.4.0 i could reproduce it
as well.

If you like to check for it try using the Progressbar in 
Fast-Modes/Trickmodes for more than 40 seconds or so. Also switching menu 
on/off several times fast triggered the problem.

The result is, that the driver hangs, but vdr does'nt die (because it's still 
alive and has no idea that the driver hung), Replay stops (lastframe shown).

To restart vdr i need to kill it 3 times and do a rmmod/insmod sequence too.
During the first time - black screen, the second time black screen with 
"convergence" info, the third time makes the video visible again and after 
reloading the driver it works again.

Has someone observed the same? (Could it be related to a special 
card-version?)

I know that the OSD is (now) just a addon, but it makes really sense to a lot 
of us, so it would be great if we can fix that one. (If not the 
driver-developers maybe we ourselfes).
