[mythtv-users] frontend restart loop after upgrade to 0.25 - SOLVED already

continuing to top post and reply to myself: in case anyone thinks I know 
what I'm doing and follows the suggestion below, it did allow my FE to 
connect but broke a previously functioning mythweb anywhere on the 
network.  Commenting out any bind-address line fixes both situations 
though I'm not convinced this is the right/best approach and I'll start 
a new thread to explore this.

Cheers,
Me.
