If I had to guess, and I am, I'd say that there is something on your
network trying to access MythTV (the 'client using protocol 8' messages)
and the backend is either leaking connections or memory for these requests,
and eventually crashes. I would try and eliminate that first, and see if it
gets you anywhere. You may have to do some network sniffing on your backend
to find the source, but even a simple netstat should be able to point you
in the right direction.
