My personal system is at .25 and have noticed it to be less stable than
.24 . I can't put my finger on it or reproduce it reliably so for now I
don't think I can offer much to a ticket. I've taken to rebooting the
mythbackend each night. The frontend will be playing along just fine
and then exit out randomly in the middle of playing. I don't ever see
any errors in the log when this happens. For now, my friend will stay
on .24 . I think I just hijacked my own thread! :)
