[mythtv] Seg Fault on HEAD build under win32

[buzz]

Nice work so far, clearly you have way more time than the rest of us!
....    :-)

I'd look at this 'const' declaration suspiciously, and in the context
of the error we are having here, I'd think  that if any of the three
variables inside the const could actually be a pointer to a variable
in a/another .dll, then that's probably where the issue lies, then the
'const' keyword needs to be removed from here, supposedly.  (untested
theory only).

if we are really "doing lots of reference to the object", then we can
expect lots of segfaults   :-)

I wonder why QT3 builds didn't suffer from this problem?

Buzz.
