Hi;

I just noticed these:

   http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2074184
   http://code.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/11230

It may be of interest to see what logging options were selected
by users with this failure. I don't have it and use the following:

   --logpath /var/log/mythtv --quiet --nodblog (default --loglevel of info)

I did replace --logpath... with --syslog local7 when testing the 0.26 update
to the rsyslog Wiki and didn't see the problem.
