I've been plagued with this for the last couple of weeks as well. Using 
ATRPMS 18.1, FC4. Happened with the 2.16.13 kernel and still does it 
with 2.16.12 I backed down to. Using an older air2pc and a pvr-250 with 
the 4.0 drivers. Seems to happen immediately after starting a recording 
on the 350.

No smoking gun when running the backend -v all, just the same "QMYSQL3: 
Unable to execute query" msg. MySQL is happy and healthy.

It stabilized itself two days ago but I'm sure it'll bork itself again.
