Package: dvb-apps
Version: 1.1.1+rev1355-1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

How to reproduce:
  dvbscan -out raw - some_file
Result:
  dvbscan process taking 100% of cpu.

Cause:
  Argument parser doesn't increment argument position when
encountering -out parameter, so it loops forever on parsing -out.
