Without a more concise version number, it's difficult to say
precisely what your problem may be. Nevertheless, if it came from an
SVN snapshot, you might be getting bitten by the upnp bug that cropped
up in SVN for a while.
I would suggest contacting the package maintainer and asking them to
up-(or down-)grade to a newer (or older) SVN snapshot. Until they get
around to doing that, you might locate the script that is used to start
mythbackend on your machine, and add the "--noupnp" flag to the line
that invokes mythbackend. See if your problem doesn't disappear.
