No problem. I've tried to reproduce the leak here to no avail.
But I'm using ATSC EIT. My suspicion is that there is either
something wrong with the UK EIT fixup, or something wrong with
the general DVB EIT. The UK fixups would be my top suspect,
since otherwise more people would be seeing the problem.
