beyond what i typed up there, it had all happened behind mythfrontend, i 
only noticed it when i tried to view somethign else.

mythbackend had printed out the following (but i don't know how long 
before the crash):

mythtv had been scheduled to record something at 1630-1700, then two 
programs from 2000-2030 and 2030-2100.  they all seemed to record 
properely, but seeking around in them was slow, like there was no 
recordedmarkup entry.

i'm afraid that's all i can deduce from the info i had.  couple 
questions about gdb that might have helped:

1) is there a way to get a timestamp from it, here i could have figured 
out when it happened?
2) is there a way to get the 'thread apply all bt full' output to go 
directy to a file?

hopefully this is still some help...
