[mythtv-users] Many instances of mythlogserver running [heisenbug]

[Ross Boylan]

I tried to debug this by building the package with debugging and
installing the debugged versions of mythfrontend and libmyth.

The multiple startups of mythlogserver do not happen under the debug
version, even if it is not being run in the debugger.
