 About 1 in 4 to 5 times, I have to wait 16 seconds before the menu appears
 after switching off live TV. On rare occasions, Mythfrontend doesn't
 recover at all.

 This is what causes it (from the frontend output):

 2009-01-11 10:02:07.885
 RingBuf(/media/mythtv/intrepid/1015_20090111100026.mpg) Error: Waited 16
 seconds for data, aborting.

 There is nothing in the backend log at the same time that indicates an
 error, but I do not know how to turn on verbose logging there.

 The error was described a long time ago, and supposedly fixed (http://www
 .mail-archive.com/mythtv-commits at mythtv.org/msg05500.html) and I cannot
 find recent reports of it, yet the problem is very real for me.

 Using Mythtv 0.21.0 from the repositories of Ubuntu Intrepid, completely
 up to date.

 Attached is as much output as I could get from mythfrontend -v all from
 when I start the frontend, start watching TV for a few seconds, exit, get
 the freeze and exit the frontend alltogether. The error is at
 10:02:07.885.
