This same thing started happening to me this weekend.  Recently I have 
been having problems starting HD shows, which could be fixed by going in 
multiple times, going to an SD show first (which always works) or 
sometimes I would have to restart X. After updating SVN this doesn't 
seem to happen anymore, but now it dies during playing with the same 
error that you are getting. Seems to be a fairly new problem.  Wonder 
what could be causing the preemption?
