mythfrontend crashes with the following output about 1 out of maybe 5 
times while trying to watch either live tv or recordings.

there are no other messages in log files that I can find - backend is fine.

I compiled mythfrontend with debug and ran under gdb but can't seem to 
get it to crash anymore - it wasn't that hard to do before, so not sure 
what's up with that.

This is mythtv version .16 on gentoo with vanilla 2.6.10_rc2.
