I have a similar setup as the OP (1 master, 1 slave, 2 HDHR2's, 1 HD-PVR
and 1 PVR-USB on FC16, latest trunk), and I too was seeing crashes, but
only when the slave was running. Leaving the slave out my backend would run
for days without issue, as soon as the slave was running, crashes, crashes
everywhere. With the patch from 11316, I have not had any issues with the
backend crashing.
