[mythtv] Backend self-terminate question

This past weekend, my backend failed when starting a recording from my
HD-PVR.  It did not crash but issued this cryptic log message and then
exited:

2010-01-30 11:30:03.109 TVRec(4): Changing from None to Watching

  what():  std::bad_alloc

Since it exited and didn't abort, I did not get a core dump so I have little
more information than this.  Can anyone shed some light on what might have
happened?  At the time, the version was trunk, 23358.  First time I have
seen this.
