Comment (by Cigaes):

 It is hard to say who is responsible for what here. A few issues are yet
 obvious:

 - the libc is calling i18n functions from an assert failure handler, that
 is just stupid;

 - the crashing code is using {{{assert()}}} instead of {{{av_assert0()}}}.

 Now, neither of these is the cause of the bug itself. There are two
 possibilities:

 - either this is really a bug in FFmpeg;

 - or vdr is somehow corrupting the memory, and that later triggers the
 assertion failure.

 Anyway, it is not a part of the code that I know.
