I can see some Crash Reports in syslog that might be relevant

mythlogserver[2171] Process 2172 was forked to 2173 without calling 
exec.  This is not supported by the FileManager aborting

The above is repeated several times with the process ID increasing

There then follows a line about saving the crash report, followed by 
another line saying removing excessive crash reports.

MythFrontend had a lower ProcessID (about 1997) and when I killed it 
from the Activity Monitor it displayed the menu before disappearing (as 
I said before)
