*** glibc detected *** double free or corruption (!prev): 0x08abec00 ***

I know this isn't particularly helpful, but it is a regular occurrence. 
A recording ends and the backend drops. In this case it was a DVB-T 
based program. I am now running an every minute cron job as follows:

if ! pgrep mythbackend
then
     (
     /usr/bin/tail /var/log/mythtv/mythbackend.log
     echo
     /sbin/service mythbackend restart
     ) 2>&1 | mail -s "Coliseum: mythbackend needed restart"\

fi > /dev/null 2>&1

It fires 3 - 5 times a day.
