 Hello,

 I have the issue, that if my backend/frontend machine is under high load
 (recording + watching + mythcommflag) and mythfilldatabase starts, it
 times out too fast waiting for the xmltv grabber script capabilites. I can
 reproduce this at least with tv_grab_eu_epgdata and
 tv_grab_de_tvmovie_clickfinder.

 mythfilldatabase starts and asks the configured script for its
 capabilites. If the machine is under high load, it could take some seconds
 until the script has been parsed, executed and produces the expected
 output. mythfilldatabase times out quite often waiting for this.

 Here is the mythfilldatabase output snippet:
 2010-04-15 09:45:19.729 Found 27 channels for source 1 which use grabber

 2010-04-15 09:45:35.115 tv_grab_eu_epgdata  --capabilities failed or we
 timed out waiting. You may need to upgrade your xmltv grabber

 2010-04-15 09:45:35.379 Grabbing XMLTV data using tv_grab_eu_epgdata is
 not supported. You may need to upgrade to the latest version of XMLTV.

 It seems the timeout is about 5 seconds. While this is enough for idle to
 medium load system, it times out under high load.
