Looks like you should try to find out why it crashes using gdb.

You can do it like this:
run
gdb /usr/bin/vdr
(gdb) run (Put here all options vdr does get normally.)

after it crashes do
(gdb) thread apply all bt full

If you do not know which options vdr gets normally, enlarge SCRIPT_DEBUG_LEVEL in /etc/conf.d/vdr and then the init-script will print the necessary info.
