Yes, you posted that before.  Has nothing to do with nuvexport --debug 
or providing more info as to WHY the fifo is getting broken.

also, linking to a "how to compile program X" is a lot less helpful than 
linking to the program itself:

If it doesn't cut on GOP, and doesn't reencode frames it cuts BETWEEN 
the GOP, then it's useless and will result in all kinds of sync issues 
because it won't necessarily be cutting on an I frame.  (if you don't 
get them, you're lucky)

No biggie.  I'm more upset at the devs for introducing this problem, 
since it's one of the single biggest issues of confusion for new users.
