-------------------------------+----------------------------------
 On occasion - possibly only when watching live tv - my backend gets into a
 state where it will no longer respond to certain actions. The live tv
 playback ends, throwing the frontend back to the menu. It will not
 restart, and nor can I list my recordings. Also mythweb becomes
 unresponsive to requests for backend status, recorded programs, and
 upcomming recordings. Recording of programs seem to continue. Restarting
 mythbackend returns the system to a working state (although that of course
 stops any current recordings).

 I didn't see this prior to upgrading to 0.24. Around the same time I added
 a Nova-S2 tuner to my system.  After this happened a few times, I build a
 debug version, and then the problem seemed to stop, but I had another case
 of it last night. I've now obtained backtraces for all the running
 threads, hoping that might shed light on the problem.

 I am using fixes/0.24 2394a9d70fe with a few local changes to
 H264Parser.cpp that cure problems with BBC HD programs.
