[mythtv-users] Mythbackend crashing ~ every 1-2 weeks (.20)

Ever since I upgraded to MythTV .20, the backend will crash within  
about 2 weeks (sometimes as little as a day, sometimes a week). I  
never had this problem with my previous install (.16). Restarting the  
server always corrects the problem, so I wasn't too concerned, but  
now we keep missing recordings and its getting a little old.  
Hopefully someone can help direct me to a solution. Here are the logs  
from around the time of the last crash:

Doing a status on mythbackend after a crash gets this message:
-----
mythtv]$ /sbin/service mythbackend status
mythbackend dead but pid file exists

I appreciate an assistance anyone can offer!
