So far all the segfaults in QMutex::lock that I've seen have been with 
packaged versions of mythtv. I might be wrong, but I've come to the 
conclusion that this is a packaging problem. The build options used on the 
build system are probably incorrect for the systems on which they are being 
used.

Compiling the same version on your own machine and then seeing whether you can 
reproduce the crash would be extremely helpful in confirming this. If it 
still crashes, at least we might get a more meaningful backtrace.
