My mother's MythTV box had it yesterday, but mine has been fine since
I rebooted it.  I am keeping an eye on them to see if it will happen
again.  As best I can tell from the logs, the problem happens when the
scheduler runs, and after that the scheduler never works again, so
there are no scheduled recordings.  This feels like a new MythTV bug,
so someone should create a bug report for the developers to have a
look at it.
