I am seeing a lot of these processes hanging around on my backend, I'm
not sure if it is a configuration problem on my side, or a bug:

/usr/local/bin/mythpreviewgen --size 0x0 --chanid 4051 --starttime

As you can see, some have been there since yesterday. I also find it
odd that the size is "0x0"

Anyone have any thoughts? There is nothing exciting in the backend
log, other than that it launched the external process. I do see a
couple of these:

2010-09-16 20:01:01.564 MainServer, Error: PREVIEW_SUCCESS but no receivers.

But not as many as there are processes still running.
