I missed that one and did not look at the code in system.c (perhaps I 
should)

No, because you are looking at the wrong place I think. Only at the 
creation of TS packet the discontinuity bit can be set in the header. 
How the access/demux can tell the packetiser/muxer? I do not know.

Can you tell which scenario you were using when this fopen/fprint/fclose
gets triggered?
*) Streaming and seeking at the server side?
*) Streaming and seeking on the client side?
*) Only client and then seeking?
