[mythtv-users] Frontend vanishes when exiting 'Watch recordings'

[Jim Morton]

I have a myth system about a month and a half old. A few days ago it 
started to lose the frontend when exiting "Watch Recordings". It just 
vanishes and I can start it back up again with no problems. I just 
re-created it and grabbed the end of the frontend log which follows.

System: Mythbuntu 9.0.4 64bit
Motherboard - Foxconn A7DA-S
CPU - AMD Athlon 64  2.7Ghz dual core
Video - GeForce 8400GS 64bit PCIe
Ram - 4GB
PSU - 400W
HDDs - Samsung 1TB x2 for video + Samsung 250GB for os
Tuner - HD Homerun

Could it be a problem with OpenGLVideoSync() or maybe whatever comes 
after that?
