No idea. I just pointed to someone else's answer to solve the problem  
because I remember reading about it. My backend only ever dies when I  
do a bunch of stuff in mythweb so my solution has been to stop using  
mythweb since I never used it much anyway and now my backend never  
dies so I don't need to monitor it at all.
