 Hiya,

 There already has been some discussion on this on other tickets and some
 fixes were made in 0.19.1 to address this but...
 I pulled the latest version of 0.19.1 last Friday and the frontend just
 segfaults while starting mythlcdserver. My set-up is with lcdproc-imom
 0.45 from http://venky.ws/projects/imon/ using the hd44780 driver. I
 managed to fix my problem doing the following:

 1) replace the version of lcddevice.cpp and lcddevice.h in 0.19.1 with the
 ones from trunk

 2) pulled mythsocket.cpp and mythsocket.h from trunk

 3) removed #include "libmythui/mythmainwindow.h" in lcddevice.cpp (l. 14)
 as it is not used

 4) amended mythcontext.h (included by mythsocket.cpp) to include
 F(VB_SOCKET,    0x00100000, "socket",    1,   101  "socket debugging
 messages")
 in its VERBOSE_MAP(F) definition

 5) amended libmyth.pro to include mythsocket.h and mythsocket.cpp in its
 HEADERS and SOURCES definitions and mythsocket.h in its inc.files

 Compiling the mythtv with these versions fixed my seg fault and the LCD
 display is now working without problems.

 It looks as if it's a trivial backport but then again I might be missing
 some incompatibility which I have yet to encounter.

 Anyway, I just thought it might also help someone else with a similar
 problem

 Thanks for a great app.
