[mythtv] Backend process dies at 4GB file limit? - with backtrace as requested.

[Buzz]

Mike,
Thanks for the URL tip re gdb.   

In this case however, the BT I've given is enough to find the
problem/solution:

*) OS is sending a SIGXFSZ to backend, backend is taking default action
which "coredump and exit".

Solution:

* capture SIGXFSZ, handle it gracefully.
