The frontend segfaults as soon as the shutdown command is issued. It's probably because some service it depends on has been killed first. It doesn't seem to be doing any harm to my setup. if you're using mythwelcome and automatic startup/shutdown then that might well be the cause. Or indeed if you're shutting the system down remotely of course.

Hi Mark,

I think you were correct.  I have been restarting X and get a segfault 
when that happens.  The others were probably from when I rebooted, which 
I have to do to get mythbuntu out of some strange state.
