Yes. And No.

I pulled out the ts-parser.c file, made a meson.build so as to create
an executable outside the plugins hierarchy. I ran it with a playbin
using the dvb URI scheme and it dumps out all the good stuff you'd
expect. And doesn't seem to fail – which is good. :-)

If in my code I just look at the DVB short event a lot of the time it
works but very quickly I get a memory allocation failure.

(me-tv:6718): GLib-ERROR **: /build/glib2.0-B1uXKV/glib2.0-2.50.3/./glib/gmem.c:165: failed to allocate 20401094656 bytes
Trace/breakpoint trap

Now whilst I didn't cut and paste the ts-parser C code I cannot see any
difference between it and what I have that would matter. So the
implication is that each EIT section on the bus cannot be treated
independently, that there is some non-local interaction happening – or
that there is something really weird with the whole descriptor system.

I am guessing that you really do have to fully process many different
messages to avoid the problem with the short event messages.
