 mythgallery uses system("mplayer ...") to generate thumbnails for movie
 files.

 This appears to cause some tty-related hangs from not closing stdin, etc.
 Recovering requires killing -9 mythfrontend, etc., which still leaves
 behind mplayer as a zombie.

 Replacing these calls with myth_system makes the problem go away (and
 yields properly-generated thumbnails for movie files).
