I was using mythweb to view the log because I was at work.  The "Previously
Recorded" page in mythfrontend just lists the show in yellow and says
"aborted".  I don't see any info for why it was aborted.  I checked the full
log file but I don't see an explination for why the recording was aborted
there either.  Here is the relevant part of the log:

2007-02-05 20:00:02.905 TVRec(1): RingBufferChanged()
2007-02-05 20:00:02.978 MythSocket(8213b20:-1): writeStringList: Error,
called with unconnected socket.

2007-02-05 20:00:03.112 MythSocket(8213b20:-1): writeStringList: Error,
called with unconnected socket.
2007-02-05 20:00:03.120 MythSocket(8206130:-1): writeStringList: Error,
called with unconnected socket.
2007-02-05 20:00:03.121 MythSocket(abc19668:-1): writeStringList: Error,
called with unconnected socket.

Could my abort problem be related to the MythSocket error messages?  There
are a ton of those in the log.  It looks like some body might have been
watching live TV at the time.  But I'm not sure about that.  But I have two
tuners.  So I think the recording should have switched to the second tuner.
