well, it's a mythbackend problem.  mythfrontend connects once to the
backend and stays connected.  mythweb connects once to the backend for
each page you load, and the backend is left to deal with the connections
and dispose of them as it sees fit.  Unfortunately, there's no way to
forcibly tell the backend that a connection should be closed (ie.
disconnect).

I'm open to suggestions.  I can cache the file pointer in memory, but I
don't know how well that would work.
