 Since upgrading to 0.22, my main MythTV frontend gives the error "Video
 frame buffering failed too many times" when fast-forwarding past a change
 in aspect ratio.

 For example, "Family Guy" is broadcast on BBC Three via DVB-S as a 4:3
 aspect ratio picture.  The trailers before the programme are 16:9.  If I
 try to fast-forward past the trailers, the picture freezes when it gets to
 the 4:3 content, then returns to the menu with the error message as above
 in a green box.

 A mythfrontend log of this happening (at timestamp 11:09:46.132) is
 attached.

 This happens on a frontend which is an EPIA-M6000G motherboard, attached
 to an LCD TV via VGA cable at 1360x768, running MiniMyth 0.22-73b4.  The
 same thing has happened with previous versions of MiniMyth (0.22-72,
 0.22-73b3), and also when the same frontend was running 'proper' MythTV on
 its own hard drive.

 Other frontends, e.g. my desktop PC and my laptop running Ubuntu 9.10 and
 MythTV 0.22-fixes, don't see this error.

 The error did not occur with 0.21.

 The backend is running MythBuntu 9.10 with MythTV 0.22-fixes.

 I'll try to make a small recording that causes the error available.
