Hi Michael,

We appreciate your willingness to offer any requested information,
however, the other guy's diagnostic data is useless to us as it
utilizes an illegal (in the territory of MythTV devs) and
unsupportable data path by utilizing softcams.  In short, any
information he would provide you or us is comprimised.  If you are
doing the same, we are equally unable to touch the report.  (I'm not
saying you are, but if you were, and that was the common thread
between you two, then it's a report we can and will have nothing to do
with).  If you are not using a softcam, then you can probably provide
the backtrace of the hung backend in this thread, and if it's
determined that there's something we can help with, we can go to trac
then.

Thanks,

Robert
