[mythtv-users] Scheduled recordings lock up during second show

Never did get a backtrace to work even with gdb from Rawhide as recently
suggested. Been running latest CVS of Myth and decoder-alpha ivtv
driver, but neither of those helped.

However, I did fix my problem : I reduced the bitrate in my profiles to
about half of what they used to be (I had left them at the insanely high
values that they were set to during my initial installation).

I can't tell you why this works, but it does.  I was always able to
record a three hour movie, no problem, but put two back-to-back 30 min
shows out there and it was a guaranteed backend lockup.
