zap is the right format. Now I remember that that driver seems to be 
incomplete: it doesn't implement
(correctly?) the FE_GET_EVENT ioctl(), so it's the driver that is 
breaking the API.
I should replace that call with FE_READ_STATUS, but I won't have time to 
do it until I'm back
(maybe around 27 december).
Are you using the last cvs of dvb-kernel? If not there's a chance that 
the bug is fixed.
Otherwise you should report this problem to the ML.
Sorry,
