 Since one or two months it sometimes happens that recordings do not stop
 after the endtime is reached.

 Mythtv runs on Ubuntu 12.04 and I made no changes in the mythtv
 configuration recently. The only changes were Ubuntu updates.

 If I open "previously recorded" in the frontend the recording is shown in
 state "recording" even after the endtime is reached. It is not possible to
 manually stop the recording in the frondend.
 All subsequent recordings are not recorded. Their state remains "Will
 record" in "Upcoming recordings" in the frontend even if their endtime is
 also passed.
 Also the pre-shutdown-check command is not executed after endtime of the
 recording is reached and the backend should be idle.

 In the XML-interface the same recording is not shown any more in
 GetEncoderList after its endtime is reached. Also the subsequent
 recordings do not show in GetUpcomingList after their endtime is reached.

 When I try to restart the backend with "stop mythtv-backend" the
 mythbackend processes are not killed but it is possible to kill them with
 "sudo killall mythbackend". In normal cases the backend terminates with
 "stop mythtv-backend".
 After restarting the backend all recordings which were shown in the
 frontend as "recording" or "will record" and whose endtime has already
 expired are now in state "missed". Calling of pre-shutdown-check command
 also works again.

 Sometimes there is a truncated file with exactly 376 bytes in the
 recordings folder but sometimes there is no file at all.

 Logs of myhtbackend look almost the same for working recordings and
 hanging recordings. The only difference I could see is that with hanging
 recordings the last log entry is "Changing from RecordingOnly to None".
 The "Updating status for ..." and "FinishedRecording" which follow with
 working recordings do not show. Also it seems that only "HouseKeeping" log
 entries follow after that whereas after working recordings there are also
 "Scheduler" entries.
