[mythtv-users] I hate when this happens

There were two issues here, actually...  the second stemming from the
first.

The main issue is that when the backend goes down, the recording is
stopped and then overwritten when the backend comes up (as opposed to
just continuing at the end of the file where it left off).

The secondary issue was suggested because a number of us have had this
happen not when the system goes down, but when we restart the backend
program.  As a solution for this, it was suggested that the recording
process be spawned separately, such that a backend restart wouldn't
affect any in-progress recordings.
