Your backtrace does not look anything like mine with one exception. It
looks like we are both getting crashing in locking/sync code (I get it
in QMutex::lock. However, unlike you, I usually get a crash per day.
Most of the time, it looks like it is crashing when the backend is
attempting to record from my DVB card.

For some time now, I have been suspecting that mythbackend is trashing
memory somewhere, somehow but I can't prove it. One of the crashes that
I had left this in my mythbackend log:

*** glibc detected *** /usr/bin/mythbackend: malloc(): memory
corruption (fast): 0x00002aaab011d7e0 ***

I have posted about my crashes here and I have also posted a bug about
this, as far as I know, there has been no development on it.
