The only related change is that the main protocol server in mythbackend 
terminates, taking the backend with it, when it does not have access to 
the IP addresses it was told to listen to. The whole backend should shut 
down at that point, but it appears some thread is holding it open.

The previous behavior was that the backend would simply listen to the 
addresses that were available at the time of startup, likely just 
127.0.0.1 and ::1. Even though you had it configured to listen on 
network accessible addresses, such that you could use a remote frontend, 
you would be unable to do so until you restarted the backend, and 
allowed it to pick up the proper addresses once your init scripts 
finished configuring the network.
