so, now it is 23.00 ( i removed the sock.lock around 16.00 ). out of
the blue, a frontend displayed "could not connect to backend" while
playing a recording. this never happened before. 2 clients were
watching, 2 commflaggers were running. i restarted it, but i think
this proves sock.lock is indeed necessary.

i tested further on the amd64-fbsd-mythtv-0.20 machine, and
reintroduced sock.lock() but now in MainServer::readyRead

around:
    sock->Lock();
    prt->setup(sock);
    sock->Unlock();

this works for the amd64-fbsd-mythtv-0.20 machine. i applied the same
patch to my 0.18-fixes server, will have to wait a couple of days to
be sure.
