Comment (by Don Lewis <dl-mythtv@…>):

 It would be difficult for me to test against master since once I upgrade
 there is no going back.  The problem occurs very infrequently, so it would
 probably require weeks of testing to trigger this bug, so I can't just
 backup my database, do a quick test with master, and then restore things
 to their original state.  I'm kind of reluctant to try to put master into
 full production as a result of all the warnings from the devs.

 I've got the six tuner version of the Prime with a !CableCard on one side.
 It replaced an older two tuner HDHR as well as two Pace RNG110s that were
 connected using firewire.  One of the RNG110s also fed an HD-PVR, which is
 still used.  Firewire is now only used to tune the remaining RNG110.  The
 system has been much more solid since upgrading to the Prime, with only
 four instances of breakage:
 * Comcast deactivated my !CableCard when I turned in the STB that it
 replaced
 * mythbackend crashed, at the end of a recording as I recall.  I think it
 was probably the same crash as this one, but unfortunately I didn't have
 crash dumps enabled.
 * The !CableCard side of my Prime, which was still running the original
 firmware, stopped working and the channel map web page was blank.
 According to the release notes it looked like this bug was probably fixed
 so I upgraded last week.
 * The crash that triggered this bug report
