[mythtv] Segmentation Fault - Problems With Some Channels Only Help?

Can anyone confirm if this is a bug as a few people seem to be having
similar problems with specific channels but I am at a loss to what to
try next?

When you watch TV or record from some channels (DVB-T) the backend
segmentation faults and the picture on the frontend just freezes (both
on same machine).  I have included what I think are key terminal and
log output below and a link to the full description of the problem.

Other channels (with higher bitrates) can be watched with no problems
so does not appear to indicate an aerial or other hardware problem.
The main thread is
http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/269444#269444 but
other people seem to be posting similar log outputs.

Many thanks.
