This code can be activated by defining + the macro DEBUG_LOCKSEQ in thread.c (which is on by default). + When debugging an actual invalid locking sequence, you can additionally define + the macro DEBUG_LOCKCALL in thread.c, which will add information about the caller + of each lock.

You may want to + 'make distclean' before running 'make' with a modified setting of DEBUG, to make + sure all object files are newly compiled. - Fixed the locking sequence when dumping EPG data. - Fixed the locking sequence when starting a recording. - The Makefiles now use the macro $(Q) instead of a plain '@' in front of their |
