[mythtv] latest ringbuffer.cpp change causes infinite loop

[Andy McMullan]

Hi

I get an infinite loop in RingBuffer::Seek in RingBuffer.cpp (lines 1295-6) 
with the latest cvs:

while (readpos > filesize)
readpos -= filesize;

The infinite loop occurs because filesize is zero and readpos is non-zero. 
As far as I can tell, when the first RingBuffer constructor is used, 
filesize is always zero. And the first RingBuffer constructor seems to be 
the one used when I play back a recording.

The symptoms of the problem are a blank screen and mythfrontend hang when 
playback is started. Doesn't usually happen the first playback, but almost 
always the second one.

P.S. Reverting to the previous version of RingBuffer.cpp is a simple 
workaround, for those who need it.
