[mythtv] Unstable Master Backend with 017 and CVS (fwd)

My Master Backend has been unstable since upgrading to 0.17 from CVS.  I have 
kept up with CVS since the 0.17 release as there have been a number of patches 
on this list that could have helped, but it still fails about every 2 hours. 
My slave backend compiled from the same code but without DVB enabled, (it has a 
PVR250 rather than the two DVB-T cards in the master), does not suffer this 
problem.

If I compile with debug the trace suggests the problem is in 
dvbsignalmonitor.cpp.  Has anyone seen something like this?
