While I have no idea what the issue might be its hard to tell without
backtrace and logs.

http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Debugging#Getting_a_Backtrace

There is a similar sounding issue open at
http://code.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/11379

If your backtrace turns out similar to the one at the ticket that might
be a helpful hint as to whats going on.
