------------------------------------------------+---------------------------
 In all versions of MythBackend, running on OSX 10.6 (Snow Leopard),
 MythBackend crashes at startup with a message in Console about closing
 random unix handles.

 In main.cpp, in the routine main, the following lines are the cause of the
 problem.

    for (int i = 3; i < sysconf(_SC_OPEN_MAX) - 1; ++i)
        close(i);

 These are apparently benign in 10.5 (Leopard) but fatal in 10.6. They
 should be #ifdef'd away for 10.6 or OSX in general.
