I have been having this problem for some time now. I usually am about a 
week behind the cvs and still happens. I don't really have a problem 
with my frontend, just mythweb. It happens randomly when I delete a 
recording and also when I reschedule one. The last line in my log is 
always a Reschedule: -1 like it returned an error. I did a backtrace on 
the dev list. I don't know how to read them well, but it looks like it 
is a qt_lock function that is segfaulting.
