[mythtv-users] mythbackend unstable after latest trunk upgrade

I updated to the most recent trunk version and since then my master 
backend is very unstable.  Prior to the upgrade mythbackend would almost 
never crash and now it does a few times a day.

I have two backends running on fedora. One is version fedora 17 and the 
other is fedora 15.  My tuners are two HDHR's and two HDPVR's. I have 
moved my master backend from the fedora 15 computer to the fedora 17 
computer and there was no change.  The problem appears to occur when an 
H.264 show is played and sometimes when one is recorded.  I am honestly 
afraid to watch recordings now while another show is recording because 
the master backend is likely to segfault.  I see many PRW: Calling 
ReadStringList() log entries per second when watching an H.264 recording 
and then a segfault and this does not happen with an MPEG recording.

Is anyone else experiencing this problem?
