+- Fixed a possible crash in case replay is started and stopped in rapid sequence, by
+  adding missing locking to cControl::Control(). The caller of this function must now
+  provide a cMutexLock which stays alive as long as the result of this call is used.
+  The old version of this function is still there for backwards compatibility with
+  plugins, because this problem appears to occur only under very rare circumstances.
+  Authors of plugins that use this function should switch to the new version, because
+  the old one is deprecated and will be removed in a future version.
+  The version numbers (both VDRVERSNUM and APIVERSNUM) have been bumped to 2.4.2, so
+  that plugins can detect the presence of the new cControl::Control().
