Sorry, false alarm, I had a crashed mythfrontend running. 

I have been experimenting with some new frontend code this morning, and now
I remember that I ran into some problem when restarting the frontend, I
noticed this weird situation for the first time. That's why I also had to
restart the backend as the newly started frontend would not connect. So
maybe the backend crashed before, leaving the frontend running (crashed). I
use initctl (start/stop/restart) which works normally just fine. 

Backend:

Here is the part of the newly started frontend

                        The response to MYTH_PROTO_VERSION was empty.
                        This happens when the backend is too busy to
respond,
                        or has deadlocked due to bugs or hardware failure.
