[mythtv-users] Please please help me

[N.E.Whiteford]

For the love of God please someone help me with the myth problem I'm
having. I've asked this before but the response I've got is "maybe it's
a focus problem", someone suggested I try rat poison, this seems a
little drastic at this point.

The problem is that after changing channel once mythtvfrontend is
unresponsive and doesn't let me change channel, tho I can still watch
tv. The logs and console output show nothing abnormal.

I'd like to do some debugging, but gdb uses up all available memory and
kills the backend when I do this. So can someone give me a few
tips? Perhaps just tell me which classes deal with responding to
keyboard events when changing channel and how this is switched off and
no, then maybe I can add some couts and start debugging?

Please please help I beg you my housemates will force me to install
windows and I may have to turn to the rat poison after all.
