[mythtv-users] mythbackend at 100% cpu, autoexpire messages filling log

[Michael Doerrie [Mythtv-Users]]

Is there a resolution on this issue?  I searched the trac ticket system, 
but it's a rather difficult query to pin down as this autoexpire line 
appears in about every post from log files.  If there isn't one, I'll 
look into posting one.

Of course this makes any TV watching on the frontend very painful, usually the frontend starts complaining that its lost connection to the backend. Which is actually still running but dog slow. This has happened twice today and both times restarting the backend fixes it for an hour or so.
