I am also having this problem (also running Gentoo and MythTV .17).

I think I finally narrowed it down to a specific circumstance, though.
Whenever both PVR-250s end recording at the exact same time the second
instance fails to make a database query and the whole thing crashes. I
have been too busy to try and fix it but it has been happening ever
since I added the second tuner.

I was just going to wipe the thing and start over since this is still
my first install of Myth and I feel I am a bit wiser now.
