Wow, that MUST be a memory leak. IMHO 1MB should suffice to do whatever
the mythbackend actually does - schedule recordings, sending files to 
frontends and executing external transcoders... Let's add 20Mb for using
Qt... But still - 400Mb!!

I'm recompiling my whole myth env. with -debug and i will do some tests 
with valgrind.
