I have changed the jobqueue.cpp code, see results below. I then
started mythcommflag with the same options from the command line, and
noticed that mythcommflag segfaults when used with the -l option. So
unless it's obvious that mythcommflag should segfault when used this
way from the command line, I guess the next step is debugging with
GDB? I'll try to look into that in a couple of days if you're
interested.
