Comment(by Graham.Dumpleton@…):

 Have attached actual crash log to show this is a real issue. The error
 message is:

 BUG IN CLIENT OF LIBDISPATCH: Do not close random Unix descriptors

 This appears to be coming out of Grand Central Dispatch.

 http://libdispatch.macosforge.org/trac/browser/trunk/src/queue.c?rev=2#L1893

 http://libdispatch.macosforge.org/

 The nature of the error seems to imply that direct or indirect linking of
 Grand Central Dispatch must cause some back ground task to run
 automatically and the close() loop in MythTV is closing some special file
 descriptor it is monitoring and causing fatal crash.
