Hi, Scott

At this point, I'm completely annoyed by the lack of your
imagination that you can not extrapolate the real problem
from simple description of the problem, which is that, the
restarting of mythbackend kills ongoing recording without
any user intervention.

This happened first when I kernel paniced and lost few
hours of recording.
I hate when this happens.
