Back at that time I put a patch into the version of rtmpdump in my
ubuntu ppa, and the same patch is in the raspberry pi repository I
maintain.  I've been running with the patch since that time and can
confirm it doesn't make anything worse.  But in spite of having fibre
broadband I could never get things to fail, so could never confirm
whether it actually fixed the problem.  On the other hand, those who
were complaining stopped doing so, so something must have worked.

I did post a patch to the rtmpdump mailing list, but it was never
accepted (probably because I couldn't provide a definitive failure and
resolution). <shrugs, 'cos not really that bothered>
