[mythtv] Backend faults

[jgmtfia Mr]

I have been getting a lot of backend crashes lately, so I have compiled a
debug version of mythtv, and ran the backend from gdb.  What should I report
when a crash happens?  (I typically get a lot of libc corrupt linked list
crashes, but this time it was a broken pipe)  I want the information I am
gathering to be useful, so any pointers would be appreciated.

The following is a backtrace of a crash this evening.  What should I do from
here?

Version:
0.19.20051119-1
Options compiled in:
 linux debug using_v4l using_alsa using_ivtv using_lirc using_x11 using_xv
using_xrandr using_frontend using_backend

Command line:
run --logfile /var/log/mythtv/mythbackend.log --pidfile
/var/run/mythtv/mythbackend.pid --verbose all

Gdb output:
[Thread -1328550992 (LWP 10626) exited]

Program received signal SIGPIPE, Broken pipe.
