[mythtv] "ivtv driver has stopped responding" - with diff

[jrandall at ftrd.us]

Did this patch make it in to 0.20, because I am running 0.20 and am  
having this problem occasionally with my PVR-500.  Interestingly,  
when this occurs, mythbackend also stops responding to the front end,  
and the mythfrontend output says "Unexpected response to  
MYTH_PROTO_VERSION:"

The only thing I have been able to do to recover from this problem is  
to restart the back end.

Josh.
