[PD] pdp_i freezes or sometimes segfaults

[Yves Degoyon]

hi,

the "too much input" message happens when
the reveicer doesn't display images fast enough and the buffer
gets filled, but the crashes are abnormal, it shouldn't happen.

i've noticed that outputing too much messages in the console
leads to some crashes so you might just comment out :

// post( "pdp_i : too much input...resetting" );

it will continue happening and some images will be lost
but this is handled properly, i think.

cheers,

sevy
