OK, disabling the BUFX-hack, --R is now implemented, great!

Before I start trying more tricks on my own, what about, and has-or-is
anyone else working on something like this

-- it seems possible to detect this  jmp-backwards from the  EOF
received ctrl packet (better than comparing time stamps,etc "on the fly"?)

-- minimum "fix", at least exit rtmpdump with error-bells screaming,
user can then manually add the -R switch
-- automatic restart after detection with BUFXHack disabled (demands
lots of re-inits of variables, pointers,flags,etc?)
(changed one old non-lib rtmpdump to be able to loop through many
downloads, got messy, always something "wrong' in specific situations)

But it seems that at that point this "jump-back-problem" can be "totally
fixed"
