 we've seen reports by some Ubuntu users whose backends would consume lots
 of memory after running for a few hours. When mythbackend is ran with--
 noupnp, memory usage stays low. It doesn't matter whether those users have
 upnp enabled devices on their network or not. For one user (who has some
 upnp devices), mythbackend will also consume 100% CPU time.

 Nico provided some valgrind logs gathered with
 {{{
 valgrind --leak-check=full --error-limit=no --show-reachable=yes --log-
 file=logfile -v -- /usr/bin/mythbackend --daemon --logfile
 /var/log/mythtv/mythbackend.log --pidfile
 /var/run/mythtv/mythbackend.pid | tee backend.log
 }}}
