Comment(by mythtv@…):

 I've done some basic debugging of the mythtranscode code.

 In main.cpp, int slowDelete(QString filename) [[BR]]

 I've traced the execution all the way through until it gets to[[BR]]


 {{{

  if (inBackground)
         exit(0);
  else
    VERBOSE(VB_IMPORTANT, QString("Finished truncating
 %1.").arg(filename));

 }}}

 inBackground is set to true and so it calls the exit(0) statement and does
 not return. I assume this is when this process should end?
 [[BR]]

 The code forks another process to do the truncate loop and completes the
 truncate successfully. The file is no longer on the disk.[[BR]]

 The PID that the fork() call returns is the one that is still running. The
 original process has ended. [[BR]]

 Hope this helps.

 Darryl
