Jan Ekström (2018-03-31):
> With certain types of input and the filter chain getting re-initialized
> or re-configured, multiple nullptr AVSubtitles can get pushed into
> sub2video_update() in a row from sub2video_heartbeat.
> 
> This causes end_pts, and on the next round pts, to become INT64_MAX,
> latter of which signals EOF in framesync, leading to complete loss of
> subtitles from that point on.
> 
> Thus, check that the sub2video.end_pts is smaller than INT64_MAX
> in a similar fashion to sub2video_flush before sending out the
> nullptr AVSubtitle. This keeps premature EOFs from happening in
> framesync and the subtitle overlay is kept past the filter chain
> re-initializations/configurations.

Looks reasonable, thanks.
