[mythtv-users] Same backend bug/issue in 0.18 from 0.17: backend running but doesn't work!

[mythtv-users at fastdruid.co.uk]

I have an issue with 0.18, exactly the same as I had with 0.17 where the
backend stops
working, it's still running but it doesn't record and wont play,

The only near warning/error is by the start of a program that failed to
record is:

2005-04-26 13:39:02.040 backend still changing state, waiting..

The backend is still running but it doesn't schedule or play anything.

*Exactly* the same as it did on 0.17

Then the frontend times out with repeats of the following 4 lines.

2005-04-26 18:09:13.266 Connecting to backend server: 192.168.1.15:6543 (try
1 of 5)
2005-04-26 18:09:33.268 ReadStringList timeout (quick).
2005-04-26 18:09:33.268 Unexpected response to MYTH_PROTO_VERSION:
2005-04-26 18:09:37.894 All Programs

I restarted the backend and the two programs that were meant to be recording
suddenly
kicked in and the frontend worked again.

Any ideas please? I have no idea even where to start, I'm at the stage of
setting up a cron
job to check for that message and restart but that is just a bodge.

Thanks

David
