 In tv_rec.cpp, the recorder can infinitely wait for a RingBuffer change if
 LiveTV exits before it completes causing future RingBuffer changes to
 never occur and the following entries to constantly be logged:

 2009-10-17 10:33:38.244 Waiting for ringbuffer switch
 2009-10-17 10:33:38.253 TVRec(1): Enabling Full LiveTV UI.

 This applies to 0.21-fixes but looking at the code, I believe this also
 pertains to trunk since m_switchingBuffer is only getting set to false in
 one place.
