Just wanted to give an update on my situation. I'm unable to do a
backtrace because I'm running Redhat and apparently there's a problem
with gdb on redhat. I tried upgrading to the latest ivtv drivers, but
had unrelated issues getting them working correctly. 

So I dropped back to the ivtv drivers I had working before. I also found
that I still had my mythtv install prior to installing the released
0.15.1. Now when I start mythbackend it reports the version as
0.15.20040525-1. 

Since going back to this version I've made 3 recordings in a row without
a problem. Maybe it's just coincidence, but I had not made it through
two recording before. Of course this does nothing to help figure out why
some people are having trouble....just fyi. 

If there's any other way that I can help let me know.
