 My backend is experiencing periodic deadlocks after applying
 http://code.mythtv.org/trac/attachment/ticket/10541/10541-v2.patch
 to mythtv-0.25_rc20120510.ebuild
 {{{
 MYTHTV_VERSION="v0.25-85-g77d0afc"
 MYTHTV_BRANCH="fixes/0.25",
 MYTHTV_REV="77d0afc9b155161c402abc328edae86b0c97a797"
 MYTHTV_SREV="77d0afc"
 }}}

 I would add to #10541 but there is a comment there that the deadlock is
 fixed buy the second patch (which I am using), so this is probably a
 completely unrelated problem.
 If I take this patch out of my e-build I end up with periodic crashes of
 the backend (1-2 times a week) instead, so they may be related in some
 way.

 I have an always on backend and slave frontends which connect to it as
 required. Approx 1 to 2 times a week a frontend will fail to connect to
 the backend process, at which time I have to ssh on to the backend and
 killall -9 before re-starting the backend (a standard kill doesn't seem to
 be enough).
