I was getting the problem using Ubuntu Hardy's 0.21, and then went on to compiling from MythTV's own svn repo in order to feed gdb with the debug info. I last updated from the svn repo on Monday.

Have done so.

Not sure what you mean/how to do it...

I've tried the following (with a dist clen in between) and get the problem under both:

./configure --prefix=/opt/mythtv --enable-opengl-vsync --enable-opengl-video --enable-proc-opt --enable-symbol-visibility --disable-directfb --with-bindings=perl,python --disable-joystick-menu --disable-firewire --disable-dbox2 --disable-hdhomerun --compile-type=debug

./configure --compile-type=debug
