Unfortunately, it seems that using libmysqlclient_r is not sufficient
to solve the problem I'm seeing. Yesterday i re-emerged qt and patched
the makefiles to use -lmysqlclient_r instead of -lmysqlclient. I
restarted the backend and tested with several recordings, also
overlapping ones. All seemed well, however tonight the problem occured
again. After the scheduled beginning of one recording, scheduling log
messages stop and the recording was not done. This recording was not
overlapping any others so my earlier observations about the problem
occuring at the second of two overlapping ones were probably just a
coincidence.
