Comment(by mythtv at goody.homelinux.net):

 Can confirm.
 Built with on 13870.
 Can provide core dump w/ debug symbols upon request. 15M bzipped
 Can provide example mpeg show for debug upon request.
 Using Motorola DCT6200 w/ firewire, no post transcoding.


 Problem seems to be that during commercial breaks, comcast (maybe other
 providers as well) have a portion of the break where they can air local
 commercials.    Using xine for playback and its info screen, I see the
 mpeg stream changes from a resolution of 704x480 to 528x480 for the local
 commerical.  Goes back to 704x480 when the show resumes.

 Under myth, it will segfault if I use commericial skip at this stream
 resolution change.   It will segfault if I use a 30 second jump ahead.  If
 I watch the commercials without skipping, mythfrontend dumps stdout info
 about losing video and audio frames and attempts 'skip' recover , it
 suceedes (with garbled video and audio during recovery) about 25% of the
 time, segfault the the rest of the time.
