Which answers the question, but going beyond the question to what the OP
probably meant... More than likely the additional logging will be
useless for a crash. Instead, you should follow the directions at
http://mythtv.org/docs/mythtv-HOWTO-22.html#ss22.2 to get a backtrace on
a version of MythTV that was compiled with debug symbols.
