Hi, ok I ran a modified test_sections.c and all was going just fine until I generated some load. I will send you my test_sections.c.
Since I am running a nonstandard kernel setup, it may be harder for you to reproduce it. I shall try my test with the old driver just to make sure it isn't reproducable. The command I tried was: grep -ril buffer_size * from the top of the vdr source tree. _J In the new year, Jeremy Hall wrote: > I will see what I can do.
