Yeah I think I can see what's going on there. To be honest I really should simplify that code, but I'll probably just patch things for now and I'll look at some more improvements post 3.4. Though I know Andreas has some other ideas for this as well.

Can you try this, http://pastebin.com/Qva6dQ0b, I can definitely see there is a failure to properly check things and it could be trying to double remove stuff from lists (not good).
However I cannot entirely see (given your config) how it could have gotten into the particular scenario. If you get another crash can you provide the same info, i.e. gdb bt full output with corresponding log.

Updated by I applied the patch but it's still not a happy camper. Crashes on the second channel change as before.
Same configs

Yeah missed another NULL check, http://pastebin.com/RtNbgs7g.
However this still implies that you're reaching the end of the buffer. Which I'm not sure is right either (might be some odd channel change condition I've not thought about).

Alright, that patch has stopped the crash on channel change. It now goes straight to ts buffer full. The buffer dir is created, but no 0,1,2 etc dirs get created and no tvh- buffer files are written.
Same configs.

No, sorry I was mistaken. It writes a buffer/0 dir and tvh- buffer files. Sometimes it will also write a buffer/1 dir as well. What I've noticed and I'm not sure if this is correct behaviour is that the first /buffer/1/tvh-file will have the same name as the last /buffer/0/tvh-file. On the next channel change it starts going to ts buffer full and no more tvh- files are written.

The file naming sounds right, the names are based on the (monotonic) system clock, so most of the time when channel surfing you will see same name for last of old sub and first of new sub.
But definitely something not right there, I'll try and take a look later today.

Ron,
I'm closing this I believe the original issue is fixed and I simply cannot reproduce the immediately to full issue, but please submit that as a separate bug if its still happening with master.
