I cant help, but I am trying to track down a similar problem. I am 
keeping my backend up to date with 0.22-fixes, on a mythbuntu 9.04 
install and am seeing pretty constant ( once a day) failures of the 
backend. Its not a segfault, and the backend stays up, but it stops 
responding to the frontend. Trying to track it down at the moment. I am 
suspicious that it is related to recording form one particular DVB-CARD 
channel as well, but that might be a coincidence.
