[mythtv-users] Multiple Recording Instances - Many 376 B Recordings Recorded

This is odd, suddenly stated happening today with each recording seeming to trigger may recording files all sized 376 B, for example 
there are 303 of the ones from a recording this morning set for 10:00am that are spaced out over the hour set down to record. (And 
similar behaviour for the next 2 recordings also)
Running Mythbuntu 10.04 0.23 25362.  Nvidia on the BE is 195.36.24, which is not really used for FE viewing.
The server subsequently crashed.
The backend log is already huge...

I am thinking perhaps I should just upgrade the system to 0.23.1, but perhaps the list may see something here?

The backend log has this around the time it first started:
