I wonder why this happens only to you. This code has been unchanged for 
about 5 years.


Can you try if modifying update_vu in sblive.c in the following way helps?

There are two places where "p" is assigned to dmap->dmabuf + something 
and then there is "for (i=0;i<l;i++)" immediately after it.

You can add "if (dmap->dmabuf != NULL)" checks before the for loops.

Best regards,
