The latest version of MythStream that I'm using dates from 15th October
2006 and at this time worked fine with the current SVN head (whatever that
was). It checks MYTH_BINARY_VERSION as this has changed a couple of times
since mid October but I've not been able to find the change that is
causing the crash on exit :-(

I've attached a backtrace of the crash if that helps.
