I think the WaitForEventThreadSleep() changes are a Red Herring.
Perhaps the inoverrecord state simply hasn't been entered when
StartRecording is called, but will be entered a few seconds in
the future.

Could you try adding this before "if (inoverrecord)"

    VERBOSE(VB_IMPORTANT, "inover("<<inoverrecord<<
        ") time-till end("<<
        QDateTime::currentDateTime().secsTo(curRecording->recendts));

It might tell us something....

I'm thinking perhaps this is a race with the event loop for
setting the inoverrecord variable. When it ran every 1/1000th
of a second it usually won, but now that we run it once a
second it often looses.
