So it's been much better since I added the kill command to my suspend 
script, but I've still seen at least one instance of multiple copies 
running and hogging 100% cpu.  So to fix it, I've added a line into my 
crontab to kill off mythlogserver if more than one process ends up 
running.  I'm not saying this is a great solution, and it's a bit brute 
force, but here is the crontab line for anyone else who wants to use it. 
  Running every minute may be overkill, but this is a frontend only box 
and it's not particularly loaded.

* * * * *       root    if [ $(ps -ef |grep -v grep|grep 
mythlogserver|awk '{print $2}' |wc -l) -gt 1 ]; then killall 
mythlogserver; fi;

It seems to work, but it does cause mythlogserver to segfault when it 
gets killed.

Use at your own risk :-)
