I've got same problems. Nothing in logs but I've missed couple of 
recordings so far. My backend hangs so that frontend and mythweb can't 
reach (they hang waiting for backend).

Similar symptoms. I don't anything special from hangs either. I tried 
logging with -v most but mythcommflag get's badly out shape because I 
don't have teletext decoder configured. BTW is you distro mythbuntu? I 
upgraded mythbuntu from 9.04 to 9.10 and all hell broke lose.
