For completeness, I've tracked this down. I had been running ivtvctl
in my change-channel mythtv script prior to putting the requisite values
in myth's d/b. I had 'lazily' been calling ivtvctl once per setting,
not once will all settings.
Removing (delaying, initially) this call [it's all in myth now] cured
the lock-up, so I guess ivtv was getting confused by my hammering it
with ioctls at the same time as myth was, plus whatever other stuff goes
on during recording transitions.
