I have been having this as an ongoing problem since I installed
MythTV 0.26 on an Arch Linux x86_64 box. There is a <a href="http://code.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/11230" target="_blank">current bug report</a>
(ticket #11230) but it's priority is marked at low, I'm hoping that
this could possibly change! Trouble is, I don't know how to
reproduce it. As the subject says, I get multiple copies of
mythlogserver and they smash the cpu at a combined total of almost
100% for each core. <br>
<br>
My typical MythTV usage is to have it wake itself, record a program
and then use a HandBrakeCLI user job to transcode this, and finally
shut itself down. Typically a 2 hour SD recording takes 2 hours to
transcode using my settings, and a 2 hour HD takes about 6 hours.
But since 0.26 I get up in the morning and the the user jobs aren't
finished and there are around 4 copies of mythlogserver all running,
using so much cpu that HandBrakeCLI only used 0.3%. But the worst
example was a few days ago, I had 14 instances all at the same time.<br></div></blockquote><div><br></div></div><div>What kind of video card do you have? I know it may sound irrelevant, but I've had the same issue and spend a night trying to find out what was going on. On my system the issue was actually caused by a bad nvidia driver (310 or 313 i believe). The process would stall with the following call stack:</div>

I downgraded nvidia 313.18 -> 304.64 a week ago and have not seen more than one mythlogserver at a time since.
