[mythtv] Waiting for a thread backtrace

I've seen this as well - and at some point it was quite reproducable. It 
turned out to be that I was running a 0.3 ivtv which started creating 
corrupt .nuv files. The frontend always hung on trying to create a 
thumbnail for those recordings. I don't remember whether Mythweb also hung, 
or just created black thumbnails.

My frontends are low-memory Epia, and I tried GDB once, and it was rather 
useless, so I never made a backtrace - reverted ivtv and my problem was 
gone.
