I just ran into this thread, sorry if my suggestions were already discussed.

Something else worth trying to get a clue:

* run through gdb:
   sh$ gdb mythtv-setup
   (gdb) run
   As gdb uses similar hooks as strace, this may not help, though.

* turn on core dumps:
   sh$ ulimit -c 500000
   You can then use gdb to analyze the core dump.

Don't expect wonders from both approaches, but perhaps an indication in 
what subcomponent you should be looking.

That number determines maximum size of core files created, 500000 may be 
wrong for you; see 'help ulimit' for details.
