I can't contribute anything regarding the driver or softhddevice,
but I guess limiting the log message to, say, one message per minute
could save the program from getting stuck.
That's assuming your log is actually flooded with thousands of
entries like that.
To qickly verify this could you please precede the line

   esyslog("ERROR: TS packet not accepted in Transfer Mode");

in transfer.c with

   static int Counter = 0;
   if ((Counter++ % 10000) == 0)
