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! :)
