As, I mentioned before in a response to one of your previous posts, I
just upgraded to CVS as of yesterday so we are (were) probably running
pretty close to the same thing. I did not experience this behavior last
night, although I have experienced it with myth 0.13 and the previous
CVS that I just upgraded from. I am pretty sure that this has nothing
(at least not entirely) to do with myth. In my case, I believe it is
related to the ivtv driver. What capture card are you using?

Haven't experienced this since the box hasn't been rebooted since I got
it running last night.
