Thanks Mark.  When I run the frontend through the debugger the crash
seems to not occur, so I'm assuming this is a race condition?  I took
a few looks through the code and added in some additional playback
logging.  The last few logged lines seem to come from
MythPlayer::VideoEnd but I don't believe that's actually responsible
for the crash.  I am a software developer, but admittedly out of my
league here.  I'd be happy to help out more if anyone can give me some
pointers.
