Hello list,
I have a very annoying problem that cropped up when I updated to the latest
CVS on the 22nd. When I try to FF or RR (or do anything that involves OSD)
the overlay flickers madly and then the frontend dies, Here is the output
from the frontend:

This only happens with HD content and de-interlacing enabled. Only selecting
"one field" or not de-interlacing keeps the frontend from dieing.

I am running linux kernel 2.6.7 with the pcHDTV kernel patch, Nvidia fx5600
with the 6111-r3 driver, and xorg 6.8.0-r4.

This really is bad.!! I now have to sit through the commercials. 
I will say that the HD content looks much much better with the new xvmc and
de-interlacing stuff. Well done!

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Scott
