Description

Somehow my epgdb got corrupted, perhaps by running multiple instances of tvheadend at the same time.
Anyhow, the attached epgdb makes tvheadend segfault.

tvheadend2213: segfault at 0 ip 000000000041d4b9 sp 00007fff769ed790 error 4 in tvheadend[400000+1b5000]

so you (were?) run(ning) multiple instances of tvheadend all pointing to the same config directory?

Easiest solution: don't do that ... :-)
Easiest fix: remove the epgdb file .. and restart.

Already taken care of. Should not segfault anyways. =)

I don't think this represents a valid bug report. We could add some checksum on the file (or MD5 file etc...) just to validate the EPG database. But at this stage I'm not sure it warrants the effort given this was actually caused by running multiple instances on the same DB, which was clearly a mistake.
