Sorry to jump in here so late in the thread...

I just tried running mythbackend under valgrind for about 30 seconds
and got some output. Keeping in mine that I was running a tunerless
backend which is unsupported (although I don't think that would be an
excuse to leak memory), is the below normal or a problem? It did start
a commflag job from the MBE...

System is F10 x86_64 w/ 2GB system memory and mythtv-0.21-15 from rpmfusion.

Thanks,
Richard
