Comment:

 (In [26827]) Avoid two deadlock conditions in Mythbackend when Slave
 Backends are running.  One occurs when the slave frequently disconnects,
 and the other when it randomly and unpredictably disappears.  These could
 render the MBE and SBE completely deadlocked until restart.  A week of
 testing including some hard scripted interruption of the connections has
 yielded no deadlocks, which I was seeing frequently before.  cpinkham has
 read over the patches and agrees that they appear correct.  Submitted has
 been running patches with no ill effect for some time.  Patches from Doug,
 fixes #8526.
