[mythtv] SIGSEGV "issue"

[henri at qais.com]

i had a fully working rh-9+atrpms+cvs as of last week
pvr-250 based box, then decided to switch case and video
card

moved stuff around, rebooted, let kudzu change some settings
and now i can't seem to run mplayer, mythbackend or
mythfrontend

recompiled the latest cvs w/ debugging, but gdb isn't helping much...

i add a break point at "main" and it never even gets there

what have i done? i've swapped back to all the old hardware,
but it's too late (i even tried an apt-get dist-upgrade, but
that didn't fix anything)

here is the last few lines of 'strace mythbackend'
mythbackend, frontend and mplayer all die in the same spot
