Ok, so it took a while but I have a recurrence of the problem. A
quick description of the events before and after I noticed it.

<div>1. I logged into the HTPC via ssh to see how many
mythlogserver processes were running, only 1 and cpu usage was
less than 1%. I then logged out.</div>
<div>2. I opened mythweb from the same pc as I did the ssh. I
cancelled a few upcoming recordings that were scheduled via a
custom search rule. Closed Mythweb.</div>
<div>3. Ate dinner</div>
<div>4. I sat in front of the HTPC and checked how many
mythlogservers were open, 7 or 8 (forgot to count!) of them and
cpu usage was maximum.</div>

If I do a "journalctl -b" to get the entire log since the last boot,
there is no instance of mythlogserver in there. I have to go to
/var/log/mythtv/mythbackend.20130307033801.953.log to find the
following lines.<br>
